9th Annual Ducky Derby

July 4th, 2009

This year the Volunteer Center’s Ducky Derby will be hosted at Point Mallard Water Park. Every duck adopted is another chance to win a great prize!

We ask the community to “adopt” ducks for a $5 donation per duck. The “adopters” of the first 20 ducks that cross the finish line will have the chance to win one of the grand prizes. When you adopt a “Six Quack” you adopt 5 ducks and get a 6th one free and you will also receive a one-day pass to Point Mallard Water Park by mail following the event.

The Ducky Derby race will begin at approximately 5:45 PM on Saturday, July 4, 2009 in the Point Mallard wave pool. Ducky Derby gives non-profit organizations and opportunity to raise money by selling duck adoptions.
