JACKSON — Despite eventual showers, there was a good turnout Sunday for the 31st running of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce’s Wildquack Duck Race and Music Festival.
After a pandemic pause in 2020, the event this year actually set a record for rubber duck ticket sales, according to Kathleen Flammia, executive director of the chamber, who said 1,700 regular duck tickets were sold at $5 each and 130 Olympic duck tickets sold at $20 each.
