From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, enjoy a plethora of activities that will keep everyone entertained. The highlight of the day? The thrilling Rubber Duck Races at noon and 2:00 PM. Watch in anticipation as hundreds of rubber ducks are released into the miner’s ditch, racing towards the finish line. Feeling lucky? For just a $5 donation, you can enter your very own duck into the race and cheer it on to victory! 🏁🦆
But that’s not all! Support local vendors from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and discover unique crafts and creations from our talented community. Plus, don’t miss out on our mouth-watering Fundraiser BBQ, serving up hotdogs, burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, and more. All proceeds from the duck sales and the BBQ go directly back into supporting the park’s educational programs and projects. 🍔🌭
And for those who love a bit of fashion fun, the Derby Hat Contest at 1:00 PM is your chance to shine. Whether you sport the biggest, fanciest, or silliest hat, there are prizes to be won in multiple categories. So, dust off those fabulous hats and join the contest! 🎩👒
Remember, while the event is free to attend, there is a $10 vehicle State Park parking fee. So, gather your friends, family, and the whole neighborhood for a day of laughter, competition, and community at the Ducky Derby. See you there! 🦆🎈
