Will you be the lucky duck?

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Sonoma Valley Sun

A regular group of ducks is called a brace. On Sunday, August 19, the gathering of 2,000 of the little yellow cuties is called the Inaugural Rubber Duck Derby, a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley.

Adopt a duck ($10 each, 3 for $25, etc.) and watch it float towards the finish line on the pond at Gundlach Bundschu Winery. Top prizes include $2,500 cash and an iPad. The Duck Fest starts at 11:30 a.m. with food, games and fun both before and after the derby. You need not be present to win, but cheering on your duck in person couldn’t hurt.

To adopt a duck call 938.8544 x118.
