Run, don’t waddle – to the Rubber Duck Regatta
More than 5,000 rubber ducks will splash down in the fountains at The Harbor during the 2013 Rubber Duck Regatta. Each duck is tagged with an individual number that corresponds with each “adoption.”

(Rockwall) August 26, 2013 – Flo T Duck, the official mascot of the Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta, has been leaving a trail of web-footed tracks all over town, hoping everyone will follow her to the second annual duck fest at The Harbor.

Enjoy family fun, good food and a Kids Zone with inflatables.

The 2013 cooler-friendly event will be bigger and better, spanning two full days and offering more opportunities for community members and businesses to get involved.

The fun begins at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20 when the vendor fair opens to the public. Festivities continue until 10 p.m. with a free concert, food and fireworks.

Race day starts at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, with a 5k Duck Dash, the Corporate Duck Beauty Pageant and duck races. The vendor fair continues until 5 p.m. and children will enjoy the Kid Zone with inflatables.

Organizers have set a fundraising goal of $100,000 – double what was achieved in 2012 – to benefit Rockwall County’s Boys & Girls Club and Meals on Wheels Senior Services.
