Duck Derby
It’s A FLOATING QUACK-A-PALOOZA at Ray Scott’s Dock! Weighted, numbered rubber ducks are dumped into the bay into a closed course and with a little help from the current, ducks are funneled towards the finish line. Ducks are removed with fishing nets by staff kayakers. Participants have NO interaction with the rubber ducks they can watch from the promenade area. Visa gift cards are awarded to the top three finishers.
Raffle Tickets can be purchased at all MBA Events – $5 per raffle ticket; $20 for 5 tickets
Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Ducks crossing the finish line.
