27th Annual
WOOD DUCK RACE
Kristmas Town Kiwanis is proud to bring the 27th Annual Kristmas Town Kiwanis Wood Duck Race to Forest Festival weekend. The race will begin 2 PM on Sunday, June 5 at the 7th Street bridge over Goldsborough Creek. As the yellow ducks maneuver through the creek the fastest swimmers will appear within sight of the finish line at the 1st St bridge in about 10 minutes. As they cross the finish line volunteers will wrangle the most adept swimmers to determine prizes for the individuals that sponsored each wood duck. What is a wood duck you ask? Wood ducks are simply an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to rubber ducks.
The “ducks” are chunks of wood painted yellow and numbered to correspond to the sponsor’s name. In the event a wood duck slips by the finish line, a plastic duck is not littering the shoreline of Oakland Bay.
The first duck to cross the finish line wins a $500 cash prize. Top finishing ducks receive cash prizes of $250, $100, $300 Cabelas gift card, Chicken and Jo's at Bob's Tavern, fresh clams and more.
Proceeds from the race support college scholarships and community programs sponsored by Kristmas Town Kiwanis.
Kristmas Town Kiwanis volunteers will be offering the opportunity to sponsor a duck for $1.00. Look for us on the parade route, at the logging show or contact Mark Ziegler at (360) 490-2969.
