Great Mid-Columbia Duck Race | Tri-City Rotary Club

Tri Cities Duck racing is back! For 19 years the Tri Cities Rotary Clubs have sponsored this community favorite to raise funds for those needing assistance in the Tri Cities area, and/or the Rotary Club's various charities. The Tri Cities Rotary Clubs hope to sell 40,000 ducks at $5.00 a piece. Of course, folks can donate more.

This family fun event starts with a Lampson crane dropping tens of thousands of rubber ducks into a marked race course on the Columbia River. The winning duck receives this year's grand prize, a Toyota Camry! There are many more prizes as well.

The 2007 theme is "Ducks to the Rescue." This year's race starts at noon on October 13th. Ducks can be purchased at Joe's Outdoor Sports or at Toyota of Tri-Cities. Rotarians will also sell ducks at the Benton-Franklin Fair, or you can simply find a Rotarian and make a purchase.
