In Ballater on Sunday the 2nd of June 2018, Ballater held the annual Duck Festival. There was a lot of stalls and stands selling clothes, food, entertainment like a ukulele band from  Braemar also the Ballater school choir and fun things for kids to do. The school choir had to sing on a truck stage, they sung Let It Be, Marie’s Wedding, I’m On My Way and The Flood. After the choir there was a mad  rush down to the river because the big duck race was going to begin. As a result  the Alexandra Hotel duck Alex  won the duck race. Well done Alex.  By Kate Parfitt
