Live duck races held in N.M.

Sorry, but I couldn't pass this up.

Amid the yucca spikes and wide-open skies of the southwestern New Mexico desert, the ducks are waddling.

The 28th annual Great American Duck Race was held this weekend, the cornerstone of a four-day festival in Deming that also features an outhouse race, tortilla toss, chili cook-off, horseshoe and softball tournaments and others.

The races went very well this year as opposed to last year when they held dead duck races.
