Two words … DUCK DERBY … we’re excited, and you should be too!
Sunday, May 21st
Race at 1:30pm
On the day of the Duck Derby, meet Winslow at the Warwick Farmers Market to join in on the excitement as their floating ducks are dropped into the Wawayanda Creek for the most adventurous day of their lives!
You can watch the ducks, with their unique numbers, as they swirl around in the creek’s current, bumping into each other, and dodging rocks and branches to race to the finish! Anxiously wait for your duck to cross the finish line for a chance to win one of the amazing prizes generously sponsored by various individuals, community organizations and businesses. Phew! Sounds like an exciting race!
Ducks are available for a $5 donation each to EVERYONE, ANYWHERE. If your duck wins, Winslow will contact you to let you know! In place of your physical duck, online donors will receive a confirmation email. You can also get tickets for your ducks from local partner organizations and businesses.
Or visit one of the following organizations who are selling tickets on behalf of Winslow: Albert Wisner Library, Frazzleberries, Newhard’s the Home Source, Peck’s Wine & Spirits, Pennings Farm Market, The Tuscan Cafe, Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce, Wine Time of Flowick, WTBQ Radio.
