Last year, Larry Flint Entertainment came up with this idea of racing ducks on the Sukunka as a fun thing to do on a weekend but also a chance to give back to the community. We were fortunate enough to donate to the Chetwynd & District Hospital Foundation and to the Chetwynd Public Library. As well, we had some happy contestants walking away with over $15,000 in cash and prizes. We hope to double
that amount of donations made this year and smiles on people's faces.
