Downtown Forsyth’s biggest event, Ducks Days features a parade, good eats, live entertainment and much more. The first thing to do is adopt a rubber duck for $10 from participating Forsyth businesses.Your duck will be entered in the Duck Race on the Yellowstone River, where it can win you a prize from $50 to $1,000. The funds will be used to support Chamber activities throughout the year. The event starts bright and early on Saturday morning with the Healthy Lifestyles Run sponsored by the Rosebud County Healthcare Center. The race will be approximately 5K and starts at 7 a.m. After the race, head downtown and set-up your chairs for the parade at 10 a.m. Jump For Jesus will follow shortly after the parade featuring a motorcycle jumper and 3-on-3 basketball tournaments will take place downtown throughout the day. At 2 p.m., journey down to the Yellowstone River to watch the duck race and find out if you’re a winner! The winner will receive $1,000; Second through 10th place will win $100 each; and 11th through 20th place will each win $50. First State Bank will host Bingo and BBQ at 5 p.m. and the Elite Pro Bull Riders will be at the Rosebud County Fairgrounds at 6 p.m. If that isn’t enough, attend the street dance in downtown Forsyth at 9 p.m. Enjoy music from the Copper Mountain Band, and be sure to sample food from local organizations.
