ROSCOMMON – The Roscommon Rotary Club held its annual Great AuSable River Duck race July 18. The event is a regular fundraiser for the club. Proceeds benefit community projects around the Roscommon and Higgins Lake areas. The initial part of the race was three heats long, before a final that included the top 20 ducks from the previous heats. The top two finishers in each heat, and the top 10 overall won cash prizes. Winner of the event (and $3,000) was Pam Long.
