Friday a Good Day for Ducks in Simsbury

On this day, the term "lucky ducks" had more than one meaning.

While there may have been some “lucky ducks” in Simsbury on Friday, there were some that were luckier than others.

Friday was the Tootin’ Hills School’s Lucky Duck Race, but while people were getting ready to float some rubber ducks down the Farmington River, there were some real ducks in need.

Luckily for them, the Simsbury Police Department answered the call.
