Dear Editor: We hope you had a great 4th of July. Our town of Sitka is one of the best places in our country to enjoy a
spirited Independence Day. On July 4 we held the Sitka Rotary Club’s 41st Anniversary Duck Race at Granite Creek at 4 p.m.
Our 2025 Duck Race is over and 2026 is in the works. Now is a great time to reserve your ducks and/or make business sponsorship commitments. No payment until January. Leave us a message at SitkaRotary@gmail.com or call (805) 231-4849.
