If you happen upon Falls Park on Saturday, May 2, you may be wondering why there are 14,000 rubber ducks in the Reedy River — we’re here to answer that for you.
- The Reedy River Duck Derby is an annual fundraiser for the Reedy River Rotary Club of Greenville.
- Post time is 2:30 p.m. — listen for the trumpet from the middle of the Liberty Bridge.
- The grand prize is a year’s worth of groceries from Publix, with other winners receiving $2,500, a golf weekend, and certificates to local businesses.
Whether you plan to adopt a duck or not, it’s a must-see race, and don’t miss the hat contest.
