The East Granby Lions Club is hosting the area's first Rubber Duck Derby and Pig Roast at Granbrook Park on Route 189 in East Granby on July 13th from 11 am to 3 pm. Hundreds of little Rubber Ducks will be released from the Bike Path Bridge in East Granby and swim down Salmon Brook toward the Granbrook Park beach. The first four ducks that cross the finish line will win prizes for the people who adopted those ducks for the race. Duck adoption tickets are available for $5 each. Ducks will be numbered to correspond with ticket numbers. First prize is a $500 pre-paid VISA debit card. Ticketholders need not be present to win.
Derby Day is Saturday, July 13th from 11 am to 3 pm. There will be music provided by the Bristol Old Tyme Fiddle Band. Food will include a Pig Roast as well as burgers, hot dogs, kettle corn and ice cream. The Duck Race will be held at 1:30 pm.
Ducks are available for adoption at the East Granby Farmer's Market on Wednesdays or at Granbrook Park on July 13th until 1 pm. Tickets are also available from any East Granby Lion Member. Come join the Lions on July 13th, at Granbrook Park there will be fun for the whole family!
