The Historic Village at Allaire ~ Annual Ducky Derby

Adults and Corporate Sponsors will adopt a duck for a $100 tax-deductible contribution.  There will be 5 heat races with the winners of those 5 races competing in the final winner's race to see which duck will bring home the grand prize of $500 in gift certificates!  There will also be a loser's race where the losers of all 5 heats will compete for the biggest loser award.  The funds collected will benefit the educational and interpretive programs at Allaire Village Inc.  All entrants will receive a certificate of authenticity, a tax-deductible contribution verification letter, and they can keep their very own duck that raced in the competition--all ducks are plastic.

For children, try the "Ducky Splash!"  Kids can purchase a duck for $3 and race to win prizes-every child wins a prize and can keep their duck.  

"Lucky Ducky" is for children 2-5 years old.  For $3, children can "fish" for a duck.  Each duck has a prize award for the children and they can keep the duck, too.
