For 21 years this wild and zany event has delighted kids of all ages. You will find that many destinations offer fund raising duck races but only in Jackson will you find all the one of a kind duck racing options like the "Jumbo Duck Race" or the Olympic Ducks and don't forget about the exciting "So you think you can Sing" competition or what about the ever popular 8 foot cake that Cathi Belcher, otherwise known as the "Lodgelady" of the Lodge at Jackson has baked for us over the last five years. There are other places that have Duck Races but they can not compete with our Wildquack Duck Race.
With a No Admissions Fee anyone can cheer, laugh and feel the excitement as over 3108 ducks bob and splash their way to the finish line. Your Duck Race ticket could win you more than $1,000 or one of more than 70 other valuable prizes including over night stays, gift certificates, shopping sprees, dinner certificates, gift packages, jewelry and much more. The very last Duck to cross the finish line will win a prize package valued at over $500. Duck Race Tickets are $6 per ticket or $20 for 4 tickets – Olympic Duck Tickets are $20 each and could win the ticket holder $1,080... If an Olympic Duck is the very first duck to cross the finish line it could win its owner over $2,000.
The day will be filled with fun activities for kids and the young at heart. Kennett High’s Key Club has promised to surprise the kids this year with new and exciting games; local restaurants will once again satisfy your hunger with fabulous barbecue foods. Take your picture with Wildquack the Duck, visit with Bo Bo T. Clown, always the kid’s favorite or just sit back and watch those zany ducks make their way to the finish line. What a great way to spend a family day in the park... While you wait for your duck to cross the finish line be sure to check out the Silent Auction Table with over 30 great gifts available to bid on.
Proceeds benefit the Jackson Police Department, the Kennett High Key Club, Starting Point: Services for Victims of Domestic & Sexual Violence as well as the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce. Make it a point to join in on the fun you won’t want to miss this year’s 21st running of the Wildquack Duck Race.
