Never Leave The Flock A dog eyes a rubber duck floating down the Big Wood River Sunday, moments before snatching it and carrying it to shore. Some 20,000 ducks were sent down the river in the annual Great Wagon Days Duck Race, a fundraiser organized by the Ketchum-Sun Valley Rotary Club, Blaine County Search and Rescue, and the Sawtooth Board of Realtors Community Foundation. The race grossed more than $75,000 through duck adoptions, sponsor contributions and merchandise sales. The proceeds from the race will be donated to student scholarships, various nonprofit organizations, holiday food baskets and Blaine County Search and Rescue. Photo by Trevor Schubert
