DEMING – The 44th Annual Great American Duck Race in Deming concluded Sunday with only one winner for both the wet and dry tracks.
Congratulations go out to Osvaldo Munoz, age 50, of Deming, for not only winning the dry track competition – just like he did last year, but this year he picked up the winning title on the wet track as well! Now he claims the $1,500 prize money for winning both competitions with a total of $3,000.
Duck Race board member Randi Morrow told Deming Radio news that over 950 racers competed for the prize money during the two days of racing.
She said that they estimate that over 15,000 people attended the event this year, in what vendors and participants are calling one of the best duck races in memory.
Morrow said that there were over 140 vendors set up at the Deming Duck Mart – an increase of about 40 over recent years – and many vendors said it was their most successful year ever.
Morrow wanted to thank her other board members, volunteers, and all the sponsors that all worked hard to again make the Great American Duck Races the success they are today.
