Vision of Wallkill together with the Wallkill High School’s Senior Celebration Committee will host their inaugural Duck Derby On the Wallkill River on Saturday, May 14th 3:00pm. This fun tournament helps to benefit Wallkill’s senior class while celebrating their outstanding achievements. Nearly two-thousand yellow rubber ducks will be launched off the Riverwalk dock at Popp Park, coloring the Wallkill River yellow as each contend to cross the finish line. The fastest duck will be awarded a $500 cash prize, while the second and third runner-ups will receive $250 and $150, respectively. The “Lame Duck” prize is far from being left behind, receiving five entry ducks at next year’s race. The Senior Celebration Committee will begin ticket sales at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 20th. Anyone wishing to volunteer for the event (expert kayakers highly requested) or need more information may contact Julie (Vision of Wallkill) at (845) 325-2329, and Erin (Senior Celebration Committee) at (845) 591-5472.
