We have a winner!
Duck #711 took the title for the 2025 Rubber Duckie Race! The winner was excited, to say the least.
We had a beautiful day for the race! Unfortunately the race was cut short due to the heavy wind coming down the waterway, so one of our young spectators drew the winning duck via a raffle drawing!
Thank you to all who supported our fundraiser and came out to watch the race! Without your support, we wouldn't be able to do the things we do.
