That was the central message from retired history teacher and avid paleontological enthusiast Ray Ham, who delivered a captivating lecture Tuesday evening at the Scenic Regional Library’s Hermann branch.

Watch the full video on the website. -- For the uninitiated, the “Duck Dance” is a cultural phenom probably started at a wedding in South St. Louis and expanded by wedding bands and bands with some old scrubby Dutch musicians having a little fun and creating a viral song and dance that lives on with the Loehnig German Band in Hermann attempting to break a world record as having the largest number of Duck Dancers on the dance floor at the Festhalle in Hermann, MO.

Many people in town took no notice of the over one hundred protestors gathered in front of the Gasconade County Courthouse on Saturday, October 18, 2025, for the “No Kings” protest, a peaceful demonstration against what they see as a rising tide of authoritarianism in American politics.
