The Scavenger Hunt kicked off today, Monday, June 3 as a duck was hidden in the Frankfort area, finding its resting place in Circle Park where a community member quickly located the duck and won a free duck to be entered into the Wacky Quacky Duck Derby for the chance to win $1,000.
The Scavenger Hunt will continued from Monday through Friday until June 14 with one duck hidden around the community every day. Community members are encouraged to visit the United Way for Clinton County Facebook page every morning around 9 a.m. for the day’s clue for their chance to locate the duck and win a free entry into the derby.
The Wacky Quacky Duck Derby will kick off on July 22 with the ducks racing off with the winning duck receiving a prize of $1,000. The second and third-place ducks will also receive an award for their efforts. The race will be held at Sapphire Bay with limited participants consisting of board members and staff, but community members are encouraged to watch the race live on Facebook to see if they win.
Ducks may be purchased for $10 for a lucky duck, $50 for a Waddler 6-pack, $100 for a Quackers Dozen and $200 for a Totally Quackers bundle of 24 ducks. Ducks may be purchased by texting “Quack” to 53-555. The Wacky Quacky Duck Derby is set to benefit the early childhood center and is sponsored by The Farmers Bank.
A limited number of ducks are available for purchase, and the United Way encourages community members to purchase their ducks as soon as possible before entries are no longer available.
