Duck Race Mania comes to Denton...

The Denton Parks Foundation is hosting the 3rd Annual Denton Duck Derby on June 2, 2012, at the Denton Water Works Park.    The Duck Derby will raise money to help support park enhancements and recreation programs of Denton and encourage participation in those programs through scholarships.

Duck Derbys all over the country have proven to be a great way to draw the community together for a fun event and to raise money for a good cause.  Businesses can participate as sponsors and underwriters of the Denton Duck Derby.  Individuals can adopt ducks for participation in two races, a kids race and an adults race.   Individually numbered rubber ducks will be dumped into the continuous river at the Denton Water Works Park.  The first ducks to cross the finish line will win prizes for their lucky adopted owners.

Come have fun, watch the race and cheer the ducks to the finish line on June 2, 2012 at the Denton Water Works Park.  We will have live entertainment, opening ceremonies and much more during the first annual Denton Duck Derby benefiting the Denton Parks Foundation.
