Rubber duck adoptions now open for Nevada Humane Society’s Duck Race and Festival
Presented by Petco Foundation, Nevada Humane Society’s Duck Race and Festival is swimming back for a 6th year with a goal to adopt 30,000 rubber ducks to benefit homeless pets. The community is encouraged to adopt a rubber duck now then spend a fun-filled day in the park to cheer on their duck as they race down the Truckee River. The grand prize is a 2015 Toyota Corolla generously donated by Dick Campagni’s Carson City Toyota Scion.
You can adopt a Lonely Duck, a Quack Pack, or another ducky package starting at just $5. Rubber ducks are available online at www.duckrace.com/reno or at the Nevada Humane Society shelter in both Reno and Carson City. In addition, ducks are available at a variety of community events, including Farmers Markets, Aces games and more.
The Duck Race & Festival is Sunday, August 23, from 11am to 5pm, at Wingfield Park. The Festival includes live entertainment, clowns, carnival games, vendors and refreshments. Dogs and cats from Nevada Humane Society will be there in search of loving homes too! The Duck Race will commence at 4pm with prize winners announced shortly after the conclusion of the race. Winners do not need to be present.
This event is made possible by sponsors Petco Foundation, Dick Campagni’s Carson City Toyota Scion. KRNV News 4, FOX News, My 21 TV, KOH 780AM, K-Bull 98.1, Magic 95.5, Wild 102.9, Reno News & Review, Q&D Construction, CustomInk and the City of Reno, as well as the many Duck Partners and volunteers.
