Each year, Garnett Street is flooded with a river of rubber ducks to raise funds to support ongoing services for families with children ages 0-5 years and more than 100 child care programs in Franklin, Granville, and Vance counties.
Each duck has the number of a $5 ticket purchased by local supporters.
1st Place:Â $1,000
2nd Place:Â Chick-Fil-A for a year
3rd Place:Â $250 Sheetz Gas Card
Last Duck:Â $100
This year, the Ducky Derby Race will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024, starting promptly at 2 p.m. Hope to see you there.
