Roducky shows a friend how to duck dance during the Battle of Plattsburgh festivities.

Roducky tests the track as on-lookers are surprised as water splashes over the first curve of the rack track.

The ducks are getting ready to float down the race track as Jerry Marking of the Plattsburgh City Fire Department fills the holding pen with water for the big race.

Everyone rushes down the hill as the ducks head for the finish line.

Roducky track engineers begin laying the plastic on the curved section of track for the ducks to slip and slide to the finish near the Saranac River.

Roducky stops to wave to people with Jody Carpenter at hand during Battle of Plattsburgh festivities.
