4-H Duck Race

How does it work?

Ducks sell for $5 each or 5 ducks for $20. All proceeds help support our local Delaware County 4-H program. Ducks will be released at Third Brook in Walton, NY. Our base location and race finish line is located at the Robinson’s Auction Barn parking lot located at the corner of Delaware Street (NYS Route 206) and West Street, across from the Speedway convenience store.

There will be five Duck Race prizes:

• 1st place $500
• 2nd place $250
• 3rd place $150
• 4th place $100
• 5th place $50

Where can you purchase a duck ticket?

Contact a 4-Her to purchase your winning duck! Duck tickets can also be purchased from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County. 4-H clubs and club members receive monetary prizes for highest sales as well as Facebook drawing prizes, so be sure to check with a local 4-H'er before contacting the office. Look for them at local stores or events such as the Meredith Dairy Fest.
