Staff members from the City of Weyburn are currently selling Duck Derby tickets for the fourth annual Duck Derby to be held on Sunday, August 27. There will be roughly 5,000 numbered ducks dumped into the Souris River at 12 noon. There are also a number of family activities planned for the day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Duck Derby is a fundraiser for the Weyburn and District United Way Communithon. Half of the proceeds will be donated to the Communithon. There will also be five cash prizes and door prizes for the ducks that made the finish line before the rest of the pack.
“Ticket sales are going great and we are ahead of last year,” said Amanda Kaufmann, building official with the City of Weyburn. “There are still lots of tickets available and they will be sold until Friday, August 25.”
Tickets have a number that will match up with one of the ducks and cost $5 each, or three for $10, or 10 for $30. Tickets can be purchased at the Weyburn Police Station, the Weyburn Review and the City of Weyburn Engineering Department. A ticket table will also be set up at the Wal-Mart on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
“So far, when we look back at the last three Duck Derbies, we have donated close to $10,000 to the Weyburn and District United Way,” said Kaufmann.
