We're dusting off our collection of rubber ducks in anticipation of The Great Duck Race, part of Lake Erie Nature & Science Center's popular Family Fun Fest on June 7. Early sales of numbered Duck Race Sponsorships are brisk and we're beginning to add to our list of prize sponsors as well.
You can view and keep track of the prize list here. It's always a blast to watch the swarm of yellow rubber ducks bobbing along Porter Creek to the finish line, but you don't need to be present to win cash, Indians tickets and other great prizes. Individuals can sponsor a duck at $5 for one duck or 5 for $20. A limited number of duck sponsorships are on sale now at True Value Stores in Bay Village and Avon Lake and at the Center through 1:30 p.m. race day or until they sell out.
Family Fun Fest also features live animal and planetarium shows, nature crafts, carnival games, bounce houses, nature hikes, food and new this year: a rock climbing wall! The non-stop activities will run from Noon – 4 p.m., with the Duck Race at 2:30 p.m. The event is a fundraiser to support the nature education programs, wildlife rehabilitation, live animal exhibits and planetarium at the non-profit, donor-funded Lake Erie Nature & Science Center.
Admission to Fun Fest is free, but most activities require a ticket. Activity tickets are $1/ticket,$10/12 tickets or $20/26 tickets. Activity tickets will also be available for presale this year beginning May 1. The event is held rain or shine.
