Big Brothers Big Sisters
Daffy Ducks
Will Be Flocking To The River Soon
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County will be launching
ducks down the river very soon! The 11th Annual Duck Derby and
Duck-N-Run 5K are scheduled for Thursday, June 22nd, at Tawawa Park in
Sidney. Duck adoptions and 5K registrations are still available,
but time is running out. The Duck Derby and 5K are a fun and
exciting way to support children within the Shelby and Darke County
communities. By “adopting” a duck for $5 each or 6 for $25, you
not only have a chance to win some fantastic prizes, but you will help
make a difference in a child’s life by providing financial support for
our mentoring programs.
A Big Brothers Big Sisters representative will be offering duck
adoptions and 5K registration forms at the Great Sidney Farmer’s Market
around courthouse square this Saturday, June 17, from 8am-12pm.
You may also go to our website at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org to
adopt your ducks and register for the 5K run.
Our 5K is part of the Shelby County 5K Tour. The 5K registration
begins at 7pm at Tawawa Park’s Geib Pavilion, and the evening race is
set to start at 8:15pm. The adopted ducks will be dropped in the
river at approximately 7:30pm at Tawawa Park’s Mosquito Creek near Geib
Pavilion. Don’t miss out on the chance to see your duck cross the
finish line and possibly win one of 11 great prizes including 2 Country
Concert tickets compliments of Meyer’s Garage & Drive Thru,
Cincinnati Fun Package including tickets for Kings Island and
Cincinnati Reds tickets, and many more fantastic
prizes.

Newspaper Bluebag Media, Edward Jones Andria Haworth Financial Advisor,
