Outstanding Citizen Award
The "Duck Award" is given annually to recognize outstanding citizens in Minerva Park. It is presented to a resident or group who has made the greatest contribution to improving the quality of life in Minerva Park. We accept nominations in late fall and the award is voted on during the December MPCA meeting.
