ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — On Saturday, April 25th, spectators can watch as many as 3,000 rubber ducks cascade over the Cascadilla Creek Falls at the Tompkins County 4-H Duck Race.

The rubber ducks will continue their journey down the creek in a race to see which one reaches the 4-H Education Center on Willow Avenue. Spectators can bet on which duck they think will finish first for a chance to win a prize if the duck is among the first to cross the finish line.

Food trucks, raffles, games, animal encounters, and more will be featured at the event. All proceeds go toward 4-H youth programs in Tompkins County.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Find more information and purchase a duck for the race here.
