(ROCKWALL- September 20, 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.
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.
