The 10th Annual Ducky Derby, sponsored by Clatsop Community Bank and KCRX 102.3 FM was held Saturday, June 10, at Quatat Park in Seaside. The event raised over $3,200 for Seaside Kids, Inc., and since 2009 has raised over $35,000 for the local nonprofit athletic program.
In addition to being the event’s title sponsor, Clatsop Community Bank awarded the grand prize of a $500 savings account to Barb Hassan, the owner of this year’s winning duck. Other prizes were awarded to runners-up. Clatsop Community Bank also presented a “duck hunt” promotion on the bank’s Facebook page in the weeks leading up to the event.
