The Renton River Days Duck Hunt concluded swimmingly at the end of the three-day festival last weekend.

Several hundred people participated in the month-long hunt to find the duck-napped Dr. Ducky and a thousand more people participated in a scavenger hunt on the grounds of Renton River Days at Liberty Park.

“The great thing about the event is that it’s just a lot of fun to do period,” said Evon Fuerst, Duck Hunt coordinator from Loneshark Games.

This year 30 ducks were spread all over Renton at businesses from Fairwood to the Highlands and various spots in-between.

Players had to collect parts of a ransom note at the different locations to find Dr. Ducky and once they got all of the clues, they were given a second puzzle.

Duck Sherflock Holmes aided participants in their quest with online clues given weekly.

Eventually the clues led people to bring canned food to the food drive hosted at Renton River Days. A can of food got Duck Hunt participants entry into a drawing for prizes.

Multiple businesses donated prizes for the contest with the most sought after prize was a brand new Kindle Fire.

“I’ve had a number of people tell me they do it for the fun and not the prizes,” said Fuerst. “There are a lot of families that do it.”

Three days after River Days and Duck Hunt organizers were recouping and still drawing names of winners as of press time Wednesday.

Organizers are already looking for businesses to host the ducks next year.
