Adopt Your Ducks For The Wacky Quacky Ducky Derby $2,000 Grand Prize Could Be Yours!

By: Lynne Hart

It’s Wacky Quacky Ducky Derby time! On Saturday, October 8, hundreds of little yellow rubber ducks will race down the spillway at Big Spring Memorial Park in Athens vying for one of several great prizes, including the $2,000 GRAND PRIZE!

Specially-designed and numbered rubber racing ducks can be adopted for $5.00 each, or a Quack Pack of 6 ducks can be adopted for $25.00. Each Quack Pack purchaser will also receive a special gift to be announced. The name of the purchaser and their duck numbers are entered into our computer so we know who adopted each duck.

The ducks are then raced in heats. The number of winning ducks in each heat will be determined by the number of prizes at the time of the event. Heat winners will then be placed in the Championship Race. The first duck through the duck trap in the Championship Race will win the Grand Prize of $2,000! All ducks in the Championship Race will take home a prize based on the order they come through the trap.

Our wacky ducks have been running amuck each year since 2001! All prizes are donated, so every dollar spent to adopt ducks goes directly to the KALB organization and supports our programs. Activities include community cleanups, Adopt-A-Spot, classroom and community education, annual Earth Day & Outdoor EXPO, household hazardous waste collections, and more.

Here is a current list of prizes, with more coming in weekly!
