By popular demand, we are repeating two activities that we introduced in 2012, a ‘Halloween-in-June’ Costume Contest and a Dunk Tank,” stated Lynn Ward, president and CEO of the Waterbury Regional Chamber, and the Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce. “Winners of the costume contest will be eligible to win $5,200 in ‘creepy cash’ prizes.” Anyone who would like to be a contestant in the Halloween Costume Contest should wear their costume to Duck Day and register at the “Halloween in June” Costume tent on Maples Street between 11:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The contest is being sponsored by Sarracco Mechanical Services and will include cash prizes in judging categories that range from children in pre-K to adults 18 years and older. Ward explained, “The Duck Day Dunk Tank we introduced last year will feature the dunking of teachers from Naugatuck High School, Naugatuck Tax Collector Jim Goggin, plus executives from Naugatuck Savings Bank, who are among the events’ top sponsors. We invite other corporate sponsors to join in the fun by registering to ‘dunk’ some of their staff members for charity as well.” The highlight of Duck Day and Race will be at 2:00 p.m. sharp, when more than 20,000 rubber ducks will be dumped from the Whittemore Bridge at the corners of Maple and Water Streets. The ducks will race down the Naugatuck River with the ambition to be among the first 25 ducks to win the competition.
