Duck Race and Pluck Rescheduled to August 27

Due to weather conditions on Saturday, August 13 that only a duck could love (rain and hail), the 2011 Duck Race and Pluck has been rescheduled to take place from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 27!

This fundraiser for the Evanston Environmental Association is a rubber duck “race” around the Dawes Park lagoon. Ducks travel on waves created by volunteers with paddles. Funds raised from the event go towards the Evanston Ecology Center’s resident critters. Sponsor one duck for $10 or a “Quack Pack” of three for $25. You may take your ducky home after the race. Dawes Park is located at Sheridan Rd. at Church St., Evanston
