Duck Race and Pluck on August 13

This fundraiser for the Evanston Environmental Association includes duck songs and games followed by a rubber duck “race” around the Dawes Park lagoon. Ducks travel on waves created by volunteers with paddles. You’re invited to sponsor one duck for $10 or a “Quack Pack” of three for $25. The “fastest” ducks and ducks plucked from the group win prizes for their sponsors. Funds raised from the event go towards the Evanston Ecology Center’s resident critters. You may take your ducky home after the race. For more info. or to reserve your duck(s), please call 847/448-8256.

This event will take place at Dawes Park, Sheridan Rd. at Church St., on Sat., Aug. 13, 3-5pm
