AFTER the forced cancellation of one of the biggest events on Okehampton's calendar, Okehampton Rotary 'ran' its duck race in an unusual fashion.

The river was too high on the rescheduled date to safely organise the race, so the club decided to draw the winners from a hat. The winners are currently on display in the Post Office. The club expressed thanks to everyone who supported the event this year, and hopes to hold the May Fair as usual in 2013.
