The Grand River Volunteer Fire Company holds a Duckless Duck Race in the summer as part of their fund raising activities. The scene above shows the multicolored floating balls each of which corresponds to a ticket for the hopeful winner. They are released all together upstream and then the vagaries of fate determine their journey down and into the 'V' of the net - and of course there can only be one 'first' through. Many people always attend the summer festive day and can readily view the travel of the Duckless Duck balls as they come down stream. The river is much shallower in this scene than in the same view in the Post 'Grand River Running Full' when the river was flowing very full - the volunteers cheerfully wading in the water are not upset at the slower current
