Vallejo Ducky Derby

lets hand over our money and then watch hundred of ducks SLOWLY make its way AGAINST the curent to win a small car or random other prizes… My mom did it for like 3 years in a row as we baked in the sun waiting for 45 minutes or longer… NO THANKS! they do it on the 4^th of july when you should be with family and friends celebrating!

From their website:
The 11^th Annual Great Vallejo Ducky Derby will once again captivate thousands on the afternoon of the 4^th of July at Vallejo’s scenic waterfront. And just as in the previous ten years, you will be able to purchase a chance at winning great prizes while supporting the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce and the Vallejo Rotary Club in their annual drive to supply every Vallejo third-​grader with a full-​size dictionary of their very own.

So don’t YOU want to come cheer on your numbered duck? This year, the goal is to sell 13,000 tickets… which means 13,000 little rubber duckies floating up the Mare Island Straits… and how can you not get in the game? Go to the website for more information… and from San Francisco, take the Vallejo Baylink Ferry to this local flavor event!
See you at the Derby…
