Yes, we know, you’re excited! We all are. It’s not every day that one gets to cheer on contestants of this caliber in an athletic competition this strenuous. We speak, of course, of the annual Rubber Ducky Derby, for which our Kendal—recognizing a good thing when they see it—one of the two leading sponsors.
The date is Saturday, April 26 The place is Patriots’ Park, right on Broadway as Sleepy Hollow becomes Tarrytown. The time is 11 am-3 pm. Races take place throughout the day as duckies tire and drop out, leaving the Big Winners!
The Hope Hose and Conqueror Fire Department help out by turning the gentle-flowing Andre’s Brook into a roiling river for dare-devil ducks.
The race is in support of the Rotary Club of the Tarrytowns in all of its philanthropic efforts to support and improve our communities. And Kendal is one of the two top sponsors of the race!
And you—yes, we’re talking about you—can get skin (or feathers) in the race! Adopt a Ducky! And while you’re at it, adopt 6 or a whole tub-full of that’s 13). The more you adopt, the cheaper they are.
And to give you some idea of what’s involved, a few pictures from last year’s race.
And they’re off!
You can feel the tension in the air!
Athletes at their best!
Danger is all around them. Some quack up under the stress.
