Nearly 700 small, yellow rubber ducks drifted down Lake Taneycomo on Saturday afternoon, helping Junior Auxiliary of Taney County raise close to $5,000.

The ducks, which had each been adopted by various individuals, raced to the Bass Pro Shops boat dock at Branson Landing, with the first 10 ducks’ owners taking home a prize.
