The 6th annual rubber duck race, sponsored by Trumansburg Rotary, will once again take place in downtown Tburg -this year on Saturday May 9th- when 1500 numbered duckies will enter Frontenac Creek near the Farmer’s Market at 1:00 and swim a quarter mile to the finish line at the Rte 96 bridge (near Gimme Coffee). The first 3 to cross the finish line yield cash prizes of $250/$150/$50 for their lucky ticket holders. Tickets are $5 each or 5 tickets for $20 dollars and can be purchased from your favorite Tburg Rotarian or most weekends at the ShurSave or at the finish line the morning of race day (up until half an hour before the race start).
This is Mother’s Day weekend and coincides with a Village wide yard sale so treasures await you in Tburg and, as often said, the event is FUN for children of all ages!
