Duckie Race

There is nothing quite like a group of rubber duckies floating down a river. For this raffle, you will want a large number of ducks and a body of water to float them down. A river with a nice current would be perfect. Get a roll of raffle tickets and mark the bottom of each duck with a corresponding number. Use a permanent marker. Sell the raffle tickets and let people know there is a rubber duckie with their number on it. Pick a day to host the race, and advertise for it. Distribute flyers, put up posters, contact the local media, and consider building a website. Rubber duckie races generate a lot of attention, and the more the better for your group. Set up a starting line where all of the duckies will be dumped into the river at once. You may want to find large boxes or crates to dump them from. Encourage people to watch along the racecourse. Have spotters in waders along the way to help any ducks that get stuck. Set a finish line and award prizes to the first 10 or 20 ducks, or however many donated prizes you have. You may also want to award a lame duck prize to the one that comes in last place. Make sure to collect all the ducks you release. You don’t want to pollute your local waterways! You may want to stretch a rope across the river with floats on it as a derrick to catch the ducks and keep them from going further downstream.

We do this in our hometown of Ellijay, GA every July 4th and is a big hit. Use chicken wire to string acorss the river, held by several teenagers, to catch the ducks. We award prizes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ducks to cross the line, and proceeds go to the beautification of our downtown shopping area.
