The ROTARY CLUB of CASTLE ROCK (morning),  the HIGH NOON ROTARY CLUB and the CASTLE PINES ROTARY CLUB invite you to join us in our annual community event, the 16th Annual Ducky Derby and Street Festival - June 9, 2012. 

The Ducky Derby is the largest annual fundraiser of the local Rotary Clubs of Castle Rock. 

THE DUCKY DERBY RACE

HERE IS HOW THE DERBY WORKS -

After you purchase a numbered ticket, we enter a "rubber ducky" into the derby race with the number on your ticket affixed to one of our highly trained ducks. Only those duckys that have a ticket sponsor will be allowed to race in the Derby.

On the day of the race, June 9, we release all the duckys that have a sponsor, at the same time, into the water at the starting point on Plum Creek. Then these highly trained duckys RACE like crazy for the finish line. 

If your duck, with your ticket number, is the first, second or third to make it to the finish line in Plum Creek ........ you win $2000 for first, $750 for second and $250 for third place

Every numbered ticket has a corresponding number affixed to a rubber ducky.

One ticket one ducky!

All of our rubber duckys are in training, right now, for this big annual derby race. Each ducky is anxious to be in the Derby Race. 

Don't let a single ducky be disappointed.
