It was a really good long weekend for four people who purchased Ducky 500 tickets for the John Marinus Memorial Duckey 500.
For 34 years, eager Comox Valley residents have snapped up Ducky 500 tickets from members of the Rotary Club of Comox. This year because of the pandemic, the traditional July 1 release of rubber ducks into the Puntledge River didn’t happen, but tickets were snapped up to support the Rotary Club of Comox.
Throughout the year, the club has used the funds to projects that help address homelessness, provide play areas for children and other projects to benefit the community.
The winners this year are:
Ticket #120648 – Grand prize winner Ruth Bell of Courtenay: wins two Momentum (Giant) Lafree EBikes; one Swagman Current bike rack; two Giro Fixture helmets; two Abus Tresor locks from Mountain City Cycle or $5,000 cash.
Ticket #121002 – Second prize winner Marg Bowbrick of Courtenay: wins a Comox Valley staycation: Crown Isle Resort & Golf Community – a two-night stay, golf and cart for two; $100 Resort Gift Card; Kingfisher Spa and Resort – a Pacific Mist Hydropath for two and $100 Gift Card and a Mount Washington Alpine Resort Zipline tour for two.
Ticket #131054 – Third prize winner Kevin from Kepso Construction of Courtenay: wins a $1,000 gift card from Canadian Tire.
Ticket #121566 – Fourth prize winner Michelle Sandiford of Courtenay: wins a $500 gift card from Thrifty Foods.
