The Chagrin Valley Chamber is excited to announce our 4th Annual Rubber Ducky Race! What is a Rubber Ducky Race, you ask? A rubber ducky's journey down the river, under the bridge and over the falls to the finish line. If your adoption paper's number matches the number on the bottom of the winning duck... you win!
To participate, adopt a duck or a flock and cheer on your ducks as they sail through the river to the finish line. One lucky duck will win the first place price of $1000.00, second place winner $500.00 and third place an amazing gift basket!! Don't miss out on the chance to adopt one of our 3,000 racing ducks for the event. Will you adopt the lucky duck?

Some fine print:
RACE RULES: The main race begins when approximately 3,000 rubber ducks are dumped into the Chagrin River. The first duck to cross the finish line will win $1000.00, second duck $500.00 and third duck a gift basket.
Each duck is the same exact size, color and weight. Approximately 3,000 rubber ducks participate in the race. The number on your Duck Adoption Certificate corresponds with the number on the bottom of the rubber duck entered into the race. The decision of the winning duck is up to the sole discretion of the Aqua Doc staff and is final. Winners must be 18 years of age or older and do not need to be present to win. Winners are contacted via email, following the races. Corresponding Duck Adoption Certificate may be required as verification before prizes are awarded. Prizes must be picked up within 10 days at the Chagrin Valley Chamber of Commerce. There are no refunds.
