The Gorge Swim Fest Society and the Rotary Club of Sidney are partnering up for their first Rubber Ducky Derby on the Gorge Waterway, set for Aug. 7.
People can purchase tickets to “sponsor” one or more ducks. On the day of the race, 4,000 yellow rubber ducks will be dropped off the Craigflower Bridge (Admirals Street) into the Gorge Waterway, where they will float 200 metres downstream to a pre-determined finish line.
The first three ducks over the finish line will win cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 for their sponsors.
