What to Expect

Attending? Read here!

  • Pre-purchase a duck (or ducks) to participate in the grand duck drop — where we’ll drop hundreds of ducks onto a bullseye from a cherry picker in the center of town.

  • Check in and pick up your duck bibs (numbers) on the day of the event.

  • If your duck number gets closest to the bullseye, you’ll get great prizes!

Want Even More Fun?

Registration for more duck games will open on June 20th. From duck cornhole to duck bingo, expect a quacking good time!

Joining from afar?

  • If you pre-purchase a duck (or ducks) below, you can still participate in the grand duck drop!

  • We’ll send you your bib numbers in advance (either physically or electronically), and we will contact you if you win.

More information will be emailed to those who pre-purchase ducks closer to the event.
