NEWCOMB Ñ The Ò ducksÓ will be gliding through the waters of Rich Lake this Saturday, May 24. The Adirondack Interpretive Center and The State University Of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry are hosting their third annual Rubber Loon Race. The race made history during its pilot race in 2012 as the first race of its kind to use American-manufac-

tured rubber water fowl. “Other races like this have taken place using rubber ducks,” said Frank Morehouse, SUNY ESF associate. “We thought the loon a better fit for the Adirondacks. Celebriduck, a California company came up with a few designs and we selected one for use in our event. It is the one and only rubber loon manufactured in the United States.Ó The schedule for the day is set to feature presentations on the loon, one of the AdirondacksÕ migratory song birds, along with woodworking workshops. Added to this yearsÕ events will be the launch of

Newcomb’s “Summer of Art,” by Weavertown resident Frances Gaffney. “We use this as a jump-start to the summer season,Ó said Morehouse. Ò ItÕ s a way to highlight our educational programs and Adirondack Guide Boat based programs on Rich Lake.Ó Scheduled for 3 p.m. is the race of the loons. The race will take place on the Rich Lake outlet, where pre-numbered and sponsored loons will float expeditiously down the outlet to the finish line. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11
