The Louth & District Lions held their annual Duck Race on Saturday September 3 at Hubbards Hills Country Park , aiming to raise money for the Louth and surrounding community.
There were nine adult races and four children’s races throughout the day, and the children who came to watch the race were also getting involved by helping to launch the ducks.

Representatives from Edan Lincs, the domestic abuse charity, the town’s 55+ Club and swimming club also held stalls.
Overall, the event raised £2,500 for Louth’s community and towards the fund for a defibrillator in Louth’s Park Avenue.
The key co-ordinator of the event was Carol Tinkler, who said: “It went very well, it was really well supported and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
