Dozens of parents and children flocked to Penticton’s Gyro Park on Saturday for the 9th annual Rubber Duck Drop presented by the South Okanagan Kin Club.
At noon sharp on May 4, 4,000 numbered rubber ducks were dropped out of a Peter Bros’ loader onto a target, and the duck that landed closest to the centre won the ticket holder roundtrip Westjet airfare for two plus $500. The second prize ticket holder won $1,000 and third prize won $500.
