You’ve got to ask yourself…do you feel DUCKY?
The Volunteer
Center of Morgan County will hold its 2015 Ducky Derby
& Amazing Duck Race at 6pm on August 21st as part of 3rd
Friday Downton. The Amazing Duck Race –
inspired by the CBS TV show “The Amazing Race” – will challenge teams of four
to complete mental
and physical challenges at locations throughout downtown Decatur. Those who compete will have a “quacking good
time” tackling the fun and adventurous tasks.
The other part of this event, and
the reason you’re reading about this event on the Library blog, is the Ducky
Derby. Here’s how it works: you “adopt” a Duck ($5 per Ducky, or a 6
“quack” for $25) and your Duck is assigned a number. At the Derby, the Duckies will race in the
fountain outside the Old State Bank building.
The Volunteer Center has two AMAZING grand prizes and 20 other awesome
prizes to award to the winning ducks.
Which brings us to Duck adoption…. If you’re going to adopt a Ducky, please
do so here at the Library! For every
Ducky purchased here, the Volunteer Center will give the Library a share of the
proceeds. You can get your Ducks at our
Circulation Desk for $5 each, or you can purchase a 6-Quack for $25.
We hope you’ll adopt your Ducky
from us and that you’ll come see us at 3rd Friday!
