The event will take place on Thursday, August 1st from 5:30-7:30 pm at 355 Midland Avenue in Yonkers.

The prize for first place is $1,000, with non-cash prizes being awarded for 2nd, 3rd, and last place. Each duck will be marked with a number on the bottom, corresponding to an individual’s purchase.
