Thanks to Antrim Truck Stop, No Frills and Giant Tiger who provided spots to sell tickets in May & June.  Also tremendous thanks to Ottawa Valley Air Paddle for providing kayaks & labour to rescue escaping ducks, joining Rotarians & volunteer Ralph Chown, all of whom allow us to bring the ducks home for another year.  Finally, big thanks to Ray Nichol who operated the front-end loader provided by Sullivans to safely release the ducks from the Madawaska Bridge.
