Bring family and friends for games like skeeball, bag toss, and lots more carnival style games, hosted by local non-profits. Every game is free to play, and you can win fun prizes. There will also be hot dogs and chips for sale.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
5,000 yellow rubber ducks race down a man-made river right at Mills Park. The top 10 ducks will receive one of our grand prizes.
Each duck is labeled with numbers from 1 to 5,000, then counted, mixed up and put in a water holding tank and then stirred some more. The ducks will be released at 12pm to race down the river to the finish line. Prizes will be given by the order in which the ducks finish.
