The YESS Duck Derby, presented by Academy Roofing & Sheet Metal, is back to celebrate 11 years of spec-quack-ular fun, and we need YOU to “join the flock” and help kids in crisis! Adopt a duck for as little as a $5 donation and watch it race across the Jordan Creek Town Center lake on Saturday, May 5th. Every duck adopted helps children find safety and care at YESS, Iowa’s largest emergency shelter for kids.
The fun starts at noon, when you can enjoy free family-friendly entertainment including:
• Live performances
• Food samples from Jordan Creek-area restaurants
• A hands-on look at construction trucks and emergency vehicles
• Activity booths and handouts from event partners
• Duck-themed gear available for purchase
• Inflatables, games, crafts and other outdoor activities for kids of all ages
Cheer on thousands of rubber ducks as they race through the lake at 2pm. If your duck is one of the first ten across the finish line, you’ll be the lucky duck going home with one of our fabulous prizes, including $10,000 cash, courtesy of PDM Precast.
