Everything was ducky this weekend as the Huntington Beach Pier as the 25th annual Duck-A-Thon was held Friday through Sunday to raise money for the AltaMed’s Huntington Beach Community Clinic.

There was a food-tasting event Friday, the Duck Drop on Saturday where about 4,000 small ducks – personalized and selling for $10 each – were dropped from the pier and rode the tides toward the shore. The first 60 won a prize. On Sunday, the larger corporate ducks raced.

The clinic offers care to thousands of uninsured and medically underserved patients each year. It’s located at 8041 Newman Ave. #200, near Beach Boulevard and north of Talbert Street.
