Lucky Ducks Help Raise Over $14,000 to Benefit Orchard House

Thanks to 3,000 blessed ducks, over $14,000 was lifted to profit Orchard Home Adult Health care Working day Centre at the 2nd Once-a-year Stony Creek Brewery Duck Race on Sunday, Sept. 19.

The community celebration was structured as part of Orchard House’s 40th anniversary celebration this calendar year.  Duck Race founder/Orchard Household Growth Director Ken Engelman thanked event host Stony Creek Brewery and team, as properly as celebrity media/Duck Race hosts Vinnie Penn and Erin Logan, together with Branford To start with Selectman Jamie Cosgrove, who picked the winning 20 ducks.

The initially 20 ducks ended up plucked from 3,000 dumped into the Branford River beside the brewery, located at 5 Indian Neck Ave. The ducks came out of the drinking water with support from the Branford Fireplace Division (BFD) fire boat, which operated as the race officials’ platform in the center of the river. Engelman also thanked the days’ “…sponsors, donors, duck race committee, “…volunteers in and out of the water, and all who served make this 2nd annual neighborhood celebration come about!”

Each individual duck donation reserved an separately-numbered duck for its donor. Engelman has posted names of the day’s 20 winners, including the $1,000 grand prize winner and supplemental 19 winners (prizes valued at $100 per winner) at the Orchard Property Facebook website page (research @TheOrchardHouseBranford).
