THE DUCKS ARE COMING

The Ducks are coming! The Ducks are coming! Ducks of all colors and design will be on display in conjunction with "Ducks Down the Dredge" and Alumni weekend. Local individuals and businesses have bought and decorated 13-inch concrete ducks for a silent auction starting on Monday, June 19. The ducks will be displayed in the hospital lobby and can be bid on beginning that day. The Ducks will then move to main street, Pender, on Friday evening, June 23, where the auction will continue. Bidding for Ducks will begin with a $20.00 minimum. Proceeds from the Duck auction will be used to purchase new equipment for CPR training.

Time to fluff your feathers, and spread your wings, shake your tail, and quack or sing for the 3rd annual Quack Off.

The Pender Community Hospital is preparing for the Quack Off to be held on Friday June 23 on Main Street Pender. The contestants will be judged according to their quack, waddle, costuming, beak and just how humorous they can be. There will be an adult and child division, with cash prizes for each group.
The first five entries for each group will receive a gift, so start practicing and may the best quack win. The contest will begin with registration from 5:00-6:00 pm and then the quacking will begin.

The Pender Community Hospital Ducks have been resting up their web feet and oiling their feathers in preparation for the Splash in the Logan Creek on Sunday, June 25, 2006. The race will start at 4:30pm and the fastest duck will receive $400.00. There will be cash prizes for the next five places and other prizes will be awarded. Ducks can be purchased from hospital employees for $5.00 for one or $20.00 for a family of five. Proceeds will be used to improve patient equipment.
