The ducks were slowly floating down the river with many volunteers stepping into the cold water to help some stranded ducks on rocks continue their path down the river. It took a total of 25 minutes for the last duck to cross the finish line. I believe Cooper had the most fun dropping all 457 ducks out of the excavator bucket at the beginning of the race.
