Farmington High School Crew Team Holding Annual Duck Race Raffle and Food Drive Saturday

The FHS Crew team will be selling raffle tickets tomorrow, door to door for the annual duck race and collecting food for the local pantry.

The Farmington High School crew team will be canvassing the town tomorrow, selling raffle tickets door to door for the 11th Annual FHS Duck Race! Duck race tickets cost $5 each; proceeds support the FHS crew program. Each ticket purchased is a chance to win one of six prizes.

In addition to selling duck tickets, team members will also be collecting non-perishable food items that will be donated to the Farmington Food Pantry. Please help us support our local food pantry.

In case we miss you at home, the crew team will also be selling duck raffle tickets and collecting food at Stop & Shop tomorrow from 10am-2pm, as well as 3/25, 3/26 and 4/1 from 12pm-4pm. We will also accept food donations the day of the duck race.
