Mark your calendars and adopt a (plastic) duckie or two
The duckies will have masks this year and will distance socially as they swim! Join the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) for our annual Duck Derby to raise needed funds for the homeless animals in Rutland County. On Thursday, Sept. 24 at 5:30 p.m., adopted (plastic) duckies will be launched into the stream at the Pittsford Recreation Area. The first four duckies to reach the finish line win cash prizes. We’ll also have a cash prize for the last duckies! Duckies are available for adoption at the RCHS shelter in Pittsford, you can download the information or order duckies online from our website, rchsvt.org. You can adopt a single duck for $3, a Quack-Pack (4 duckies) for $10 or a 6-Quack (6 duckies) for $15. Duckies can be adopted at the event, as well. You do not need to be present to win, but if you want to, come on down and cheer on your duckies! Support the RCHS and join us for an enjoyable late afternoon of racing duckies! For more information contact the RCHS business office at 483-9171 or visit rchsvt.org.
