20th Annual 4-H Duck Race July 20

Posted

Cornell Cooperative Extension Delaware County announces its annual 4-H Duck Race will take place on Saturday, July 20, beginning at noon.

Watch 3,000 bright colored ducks race down West Brook in a frantic quest to be first duck to cross the finish line.

Ducks sell for $5 each or 5 ducks for $20. Take a chance on a duck and win great prizes if your duck is among the first ones to cross the finish line!

Ducks will be released on Third Brook in Walton, NY. Our base location and the race finish line is located at the Robinson’s Auction Barn parking lot located at the corner of Delaware Street (NYS Route 206) and West Street, across from the Speedway convenience store.

There will be five Duck Race prizes:

• 1st place $500

• 2nd place $250

• 3rd place $150

• 4th place $100

• 5th place $50

Contact a Delaware County 4-Her or the Delaware County Cooperative Extension office at 607-865-6531 to purchase your winning duck.

All proceeds support 4-H youth programs in Delaware County. All proceeds from the 4-H Duck Race will go directly into supporting 4-H youth development programs that have been helping to build career and life skills of youth across the county for over 75 years.
