For anyone wanting to see the spectacle of 16,000 yellow ducks floating their way to the shore, Clarks Bridge Park was the place to be Saturday afternoon. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County held the 14th annual Rubber Duck Derby at Lake Lanier on Saturday, and people from all over the community came out to participate in events going to a worthy cause. The park was lined with tents and booths during Duck Fest allowing derbygoers to play games, indulge in funnel cake and listen to live music by Dave Boyd and the Shade Tree Smugglers Band.
