The crowd last weekend at Big Spring Park in Athens gathered for the 23rd Annual Wack Quacky Ducky Derby. Participants adopted wacky quacky ducks for $5 each in hopes of winning great prizes while contributing to the beautification of the community.
The mission of Keep Athens Limestone Beautiful is to empower the citizens of Athens and Limestone County to take greater responsibility for their environment. This yearly fundraiser helps KALB with a variety of projects including the Elk River Clean-up and other beautification projects across the county and city.
