Duck Derby Raises $$$ - Where's Serita?

Derby Ducks floated down the Lazy River at Heath Pool.  
Ladies and Gentlemen and ... float your ducks! Over 1,000 rubber ducks raced Saturday night in the annual Heath Duck Derby, benefitting the Licking County United Way, in the Heath Pool's Lazy River.

     Several cash prizes were awarded, with the top $1,000 prize going to a lucky person named Serita, who wasn't there, (don't worry Serita, need not be present to win).


My duck must have been the one on it's side.
      My family bought 12 ducks (two six quacks) and unfortunately, our ducks didn't make it out of any of the three heats to compete in the final round. However, the DJ, kept reminding us that we're all winners, because the money being raised at the event benefits the United Way which benefits the community.

Grace, Rachel, and Anna enjoyed the tire swing!
     We did win two passes to Coco Key in a drawing, and had a lot of fun swimming in the Heath Pool. Even at age 39, the high dive terrorizes me. I made it off and landed in the water, but not without the usual thoughts - what if I slip and trip on the dive, what if I hit my head on the dive on the way down, etc.

     The United Way of Licking County Annual Fundraising Drive is underway. If you would like to make a donation to the United Way, please contact the United Way of Licking County at 740-345-8741.
