The Quack-off was another great time! As I walk down to the main street early in the morning, I hear laughter, bus engines and ducks squawking. My girlfriends come to town to meet me for a fun filled drunkfest day! After the races, we are sure to hit the local bar where there is not much standing room, but alot of fun! We end the night by closing the bar down, only to carry the party elsewhere. Here's to another year! See ya next january.

Most people get there @ 8:00 A.M. and that's usually when the party begins! Alot of tailgaiting going on and I believe the races start at 1:00??? Don't quote me on that! maybe 12:00??? Can't remember. You should come down, it's an absolute blast!
