The Rutland County Humane Society ‘Duck Derby’ is almost here

There is still time to adopt your little plastic ducks for the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) Duck Derby! The Duck Derby will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 23 at Pittsford Recreational Area.

Adopted ducks will enter the creek and race to the finish for cash prizes. All proceeds go towards the care of homeless animals in our community. We are getting closer to beating last year’s adoptions of 2,649 ducks! Can you help us beat our goal? To adopt your ducks, stop by the Humane Society on Stevens Road in Pittsford, or visit rchsvt.org. For more information call the RCHS office at 802-483-9171.
