As part of their annual Great Pootatuck Duck Race, Newtown Lions Club members sold 4,000 rubber ducks to raise funds for charity. This photo shows the Lions dumping the ducks into the Pootatuck River at the start of the race.

    The St. Joseph Island Lions Club held a “Cow Patty Raffle” where a field was marked off into 1 ft. squares and the numbered plots were sold to individuals. On the day of the event, a stubborn cow was let into the field and 2 hours later a winner was declared when she deposited a paddy in the lucky winners square.
