The 22nd Annual AdironDuck Race was held on April 24th, 2016. We are thankful for the schools that participated. We had 130 volunteers and 1,600 guests that spent the day at Oswegatchie.
7,036 total ducks were sold. 319 more than last year!
Interestingly, 16 FFA Chapters participated in the actual selling of ducks, but due to our on-line sales system, a total 44 chapters received duck credit.
$13,727 will be given to back to chapter as credit to participate in Oswegatchie activities.
The top 5 sellers were:
Beaver River- 988
Lowville- 665
South Lewis- 542
Carthage- 530
Sidney- 393
The Adironduck Race is important for a handful of reasons:

The Adironduck Race is important for a handful of reasons:
- Oswegatchie gets cleaned up and ready for another year.
- Funds are raised to help send kids to camp
- Funds are raised to help keep summer camp costs low.
- Past FFA members and campers get a chance to visit Oswegatchie
- The community from near and far get to have a free day of entertainment outside in the sun
- People are drawn into Lewis County and helps showcase our local area.
