This duck is bummed… and we are too.

There are only 11 days until the 4th Annual Pewaukee River Duck Race, and we still have over 1,000 ducks waiting to be adopted. That’s wayyyy behind where we’ve been in past years — and it puts this important fundraiser for Friends of the Parks of Pewaukee and Pewaukee Parks and Recreation at risk.

This year has more prizes than ever – with 10 winners and a top prize of $500!

Adopt your duck today, keep our parks strong, and enjoy the best 4.2 minutes of racing right after the parade on July 4th. Can't make it? No worries - winner need not be present.

Tickets are available online at www.pewaukeeduckrace.com or at any of our amazing retailers Schulte's MicroFarm Greenhouses and Fun Center Pewaukee, Beach Bum Bakery, and Anchor Fitness. $20 for a QuackPack of 5!

Let’s turn this duck’s frown upside down.
