Fourth annual Allens Pond Duck Derby at Allen's Pond Sanctuary, Horseneck Road
A shifting breeze and misty conditions didn’t phase the 3752 plastic duckies set loose on an incoming tide at the Allens Pond Inlet in the fourth Annual Allens Pond Duck Derby on Saturday. The entire fleet funneled into finish area. Dartmouth resident Pam Joyce won a dinner for two anywhere in the world, her duck “Delta” having been the first to squeeze through the carefully monitored finish line.
Past winners dined in India, Aruba, and Zimbabwe. The derby helps finance programs in ecology, land stewardship, and education. “It was our most successful derby to date,” Sanctuary Director Gina Purtell said.
