BBBS annual
Duck Derby & Duck-N-Run
5K around the corner
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County will be launching
ducks down the river very soon! The 12th Annual Duck Derby &
Duck-N-Run 5K is coming up on Thursday, June 21, at Tawawa Park in
Sidney. It’s not too late to adopt your ducks or register for the
5K event, but time is running out. By “adopting” a duck for $5
each or 6 for $25, you not only have a chance to win $1,000 and other
fantastic prize packages, but you will help make a difference in a
child’s life by providing financial support for local youth mentoring
programs. The Duck Derby and 5K are a fun and exciting way to
support children within the Shelby and Darke County communities.
To adopt your ducks, go to www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org or swing by
the Sidney office located at 121 E. North Street.
The 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 launched into
the creek 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 12 great prize
packages. This year’s major sponsors include: 105.5 TAM FM, Dave
Russell CPA, Ferguson Construction Company, Greenville VFW, J & J
Enterprises, Koenig Equipment, Mantor Auto & Truck Repair, Shelby
County FOP Lodge #138, Sidney Body Carstar, Temperance Lodge #73 F
