The 2025 Big Daddy Duck festivities wrapped up on Saturday, June 7 with the Jim Tol Memorial Big Daddy Duck Race! This year 265 ducks were launched in the river for the big race! With the crowds cheering on the ducks, #107 sponsored by Remmelts Mechanical won the title of Fastest Duck and #91 from sponsor Northland Automotive was named the Slowest Duck. Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny from sponsor Pathway Financial Design won the Prettiest Duck contest by garnering the highest amount in donations for hand2hand to help provide weekend meals for kids in our school district and throughout West Michigan.
Thank you to all our duck sponsors for their support of our Club's fundraiser. Special thanks to our "host" businesses who served as drop off sites and generously allowed us to display the decorated ducks in their storefront windows: Knape Industries, Rockford Family Eyecare, Edward Jone - Aimee Ohlmann, Glik's, The Local Basket Case, Golden & Jernigan, Meraki, Ila & Lucille, The Edge and Farmer's Insurance. |
