KISMET’S ANNUAL DUCK RACES

                                               Photos & text by Jeannie

 

 

 They came in garbage bags and beach umbrellas – hordes of little ones in colorful parasols bobbing up and down as they ran thru the rain – actually hard to tell who was more excited - the kids or their parents. Dom said “it was a blessing to get them out of the house”  He'll know soon enough.

 

 

Caroline showed up with her own duck – rumor had it she was going to bring the 4 real ones Greg gave her but “they couldn’t be trained to race in time – they fly around too much” – next year? REAL duck races???

 

Anthony opted for carrying his duck head under his arm like a headless horse men of old - (guess it got too soggy - we know how heavy wet feathers can be - just ask a drag queen in the rain

 

Frank Boulton, owner of the L I Ducks was his usual smooth talking self announcing the races and donates all the prizes and Sam & Tom Licari could barely suppress their fun setting up the ducks for each race –

 

Little hands grabbed their lucky ducks as parents paid for their gambling habit from volunteers Cindy & Chris

This one?

Yes this is the winner

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…which to choose?

I’ll ask my advisor

Are you sure?

OK if you all say so

I want this one!!!

while adults were more selective choosing from Patti M & Judi P’s table

 

 

 

THE RACE IS ON……….

 

Thanks to a desperate but ingenious Sam Wood the track and whole event was moved indoors and everybody but the ducks stayed high and dry

Now, you’re sure these are the winners???

Where ARE they???

 

 

Joe McK back covering the end of the track chaos with John A as they sorted out winners for the excited little fans –

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doug Chapey, the winner of the 50/50, donated his winnings back to the KFD

 

 

“Special thanks to the gang of regulars who make this event run like clockwork. Chris R., Cindy S., Patti R., Joanie M., Lauren D, Kellie B, Rusty & Judy, Rudy & Patty, the Chiros, Rose & Victor.  Experience counts.  Also have to thank new additions Johnny "Sands" Altieri & Tom L. (is the L short for lawyer?) who pitched in when it counted.

                                                                                          Joe McK”

  

 

 Towards the end Dom was selling the green KFD T-shirts at a "fire sale" for $5 each - guess we can’t ALL have the more successful tie-dyed ones

 

The event took in a record $2300,  

 

 

….. But as always it was the kids who make this event such a joy!
