Tom Manett of Poland, from left, Ryan Manson of Lewiston, Scott Shanaman of Auburn and Sean Watson of Poland drop 672 rubber ducks into Lapham Brook on Saturday during the Lost Valley Racing Club Duck Derby in Auburn. The second annual event is held to raise funds so that registration costs for the club are kept as low as possible, says LVRC President John Herrick. “We have not raised prices in four years and this is why,” he says. The first five numbered ducks across the downstream finish line win $336 each for the person holding the number. Nason Mechanical purchased a majority of the ducks for LVRC. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
