COLUMBUS — The Columbus Education Foundation (CEF), will present the inaugural Columbus Duck Derby! The “Duck Drop” is launching from the East River Bridge in Columbus on Saturday, May 18, at 11 a.m. The ducks will float down the Colorado River to the finish line at Beason's Park. The first three ducks that cross the finish line will win gift cards valued at
$1,000 for first place, $500 for second place and $250 for third place.
What is the cost of the race?
Just a Duck for $5, Quack Pack of six for $25, or Flock-a-Ducks of 13 for $50. Only 3,000 ducks will be sold and a lot have already been sold, so get your racing ducks before they are gone!
We are proud to recognize our major sponsors, Drymalla, AL&M, Baumgart Agency and the Mark A. Chapman Foundation.
