This has been an event that I've supported for years and I hope that you'll join me. Get ready to quack up and support the 14th Annual Broome County Humane Society Duck Derby!

On August 17th, get ready for a truly quacky time where you can adopt ducks, and watch them as they "swim" down the course, while having a chance to win exciting prizes.

Broome County Humane Society Duck Derby

The Duck Derby is not just a fun-filled event, but it's also a way to help the Broome County Humane Society as they save homeless pets in our community. By adopting a duck for just $5, you get to join in the excitement of the race, and participate in the important work of finding homes for animals in need.

Head down to Highland Park in Endwell, NY, and be part of the action as over 10,000 ducks zoom down the course. You can be there when the winning duck crosses the finish line! You got to be in it to win it, so get your duck or ducks for your chance to win the guaranteed grand prize of $5,000 in cash..

In addition to the racing of the ducks, there will be entertainment for everyone to enjoy including music and food from local vendors. You can make a difference while having a blast with friends and family.

Adopt your ducks today and join in the festivities on August 17th at the 14th Annual Broome County Humane Society Duck Derby from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Visit the website for more information and to support the cause.
