The Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) will be sponsoring the 23rd running of this traditional “athletic” event of the ducks on Saturday, August 20 when at 12 Noon the sponsored ducks will be dropped from the Depot Street bridge into the Black River to determine who the fastest duck to reach Walker Bridge is.
The ducks reaching the Walker Bridge first will be rewarding their sponsors with cash prizes of $200, 100, and 75 for the first three winners. Keeping with tradition, the last sponsored duck to make it across the finish line will earn $25 for its sponsor-just for trying.
Naturally, in order to be one of the winners, sponsors need to rent their ducks by purchasing raffle tickets. Tickets are available in numerous “sizes”:
$5 for a single ticket
$20 for a quack pack (5 for $20)
$50 for a corporate duck
Raffle tickets are available at Benson’s Chevrolet, Peoples United Bank and Ludlow Insurance and any Ludlow Rotarian!
Tickets may be purchased here through paypal!
