Get Ducky for Downtown, June 24
|
The DTC and St. Cloud Rotary Club are quackers about ducks, rubber ducks that is. Join us for the quaziest race ever when we "drop" 5,000 rubber ducks off the Veteran's Bridge into the historic Mississippi River as part of the 2017 Granite City Days Festival.
YOU have the opportunity to cheer on your little quacker racing for the finish line AND help raise money for our community. Your "ducky donation" will allow us to raise funds for the Mississippi RiverWalk project.
Get your ducks in a row for the Downtown Duck Drop on June 24. The drop expected to take place around 1:30 pm, immediately following the Granite City Days Festival. Watch from along the Beaver Island Trail behind the River's Edge Convention Center. LET'S PLAY! ADOPT TODAY
