DERBY - St. Mary-St. Michael School in Derby will host its 4th Annual Housy River Duck Race Saturday along the Housatonic River to help raise operating funds for this year.
The goal is not only to raise funds to help maintain and upgrade our school but also help local charities raise money.
The Housy River Duck Race will be held in conjunction with Derby Day. Last year over 20,000 people participated in Derby Day, and organizers anticipate this year’s event to be even larger.
The day will begin with a 5K Race & Fun Run along the Derby Greenway. Derby Day will be a day full of entertainment on the Green.
The Duck Race will take place in the afternoon. The rubber ducks will race each other on the Housatonic River starting at the Derby-Shelton Bridge.
Each duck is numbered to match a corresponding, $5 raffle ticket. The first 50 ducks to cross the finish line will win the 50 great prizes!
The above information was provided by Grace Torres, duck race coordinator.
