“BIG” DUCK RACE – Official Rules and Regulations

 How it will run

Each duck numbered has a corresponding ticket.  When a person purchases a ticket that same number duck will be entered into the draw(race).  Only the duck numbers sold will be entered into the draw(race).

August 28, the day of the BIG Duck race, all racing ducks are sent down the waterslide to a waiting area in the pool.  At 6:00pm the lazy river is turned on and the barrier is released so the ducks can float down the lazy river.  At the end of the lazy river is another barricade with an opening just large enough for a duck to get through.  The first three ducks through are the winners.

  1. Prize Eligibility
    1. Any age may purchase a ticket.
