Box number 4,000
Chris Hartwig, left, of Le Center, watches as his daughter Carly, with help from volunteer Joel Fogarty of Montgomery, works on box number 4,000 during the Wood Duck Box Building Day on Sunday, Feb. 26. Held at the KC Hall in New Prague, it was one of the most highly attended in the event’s 18 years. By 11 a.m. there had already been 260 youth, ages 16 and younger, attending to help build duck houses that they could take home.
