One lucky duck will win a free dinner for two anywhere in the world—that is, if their rubber ducky finishes first in this year’s “Ducky Wucky River Race” in Harvard, Mass.
The Ayer Rotary Club will kick off the annual competition on Saturday as part of its 64th annual Apple Blossom Festival. This year will be the festival’s 26th “Ducky Wucky” race.
Thousands of numbered yellow ducks will be dumped into the Nashua River in town around 4 p.m. before they float downstream. The person whose ticket number corresponds with the rubber ducky that crosses the finish line first will win the grand prize: an all-expenses-paid trip and dinner for two anywhere in the world.
Last year’s champion went to Venice, and others have enjoyed a tasty meal in places like Paris, Tokyo, Dublin, Australia, Indonesia, and South Africa, according to The Boston Globe.
Participants interested in “adopting” a duck can still buy tickets before the race from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. in Harvard Common.
All proceeds from the race and festival benefit charities supported by the Rotary Club of Ayer.
