This year's event promises plenty of family fun! There will be two bounce houses and a slide, face painting, duck race souvenirs for kids, as well as entertainment, exhibitors, and food for all ages. 

The event runs from 10 am until 2:30 pm at which time the rubber ducks will be launched into the Pootatuck river from the bridge in Sandy Hook. The first 20 ducks to cross the finish line will win prizes that total nearly $4,700. The top prize is a cash prize of $2,000 with a 2nd prize of $500.

Duck Race tickets are being sold for $5 each at a number of businesses in Newtown and Sandy Hook and the Newtown Lions will sell tickets outside a number of local Newtown establishments during April and May. Tickets will also be on sale at the May 25th event.

The year's event is proudly sponsored by the Newtown Norcom's Mortgage Force and the Newtown United Methodist Church to benefit the many Newtown Lions Club charitable contributions.
