The 16th annual Ducks Unlimited Minden dinner and auction was held May 3 at the Haliburton Legion.

“We are reminded just how amazing our local community is when events like this are planned and executed,” Cheryl Smith Hamilton said.

She thanked committee members Brian and Mary Hamilton, Jeff Martin, Kathy Mason Martin, Jeff Black, and Christina CoxBlack.

She then gave a shout-out to Curry Chevrolet Buick GMC Limited’s crew for helping to get the hall set up, the Legion for hosting the event, and Till Death BBQ for the catering. She then lauded their “amazing donors” with a list of nearly 80.
