TRUSSVILLE – Feeling ducky? Have we got an event for you!
Make plans now to waddle down to the banks of the Cahaba River behind the Trussville Public Library on Sept. 16, at 1 p.m., for the inaugural “Cruising on the Cahaba” duck race, presented by the Trussville Noon Rotary Club.
Set to take place in conjunction with Trussville Dog Daze, the event will provide race fans a prime opportunity to follow the progress of over 1,000 rubber ducks as they vie for Iron Bowl tickets and other prizes, all for a good cause. Event proceeds will benefit the Trussville Noon Rotary’s scholarship fund.
Racing ducks are available for a $5-per-duck donation and will be sold onsite at Dog Daze from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Pre-festival duck sales will take place at Synovus Bank, Agnew Jewelers and Trussville Cigar Company from now until race day.
The Grand Prize is two tickets to this year’s Iron Bowl. Other giveaways include a $250 gift certificate from Agnew’s Jewelers, one-night-stay certificates at the Hampton Inn, multiple gift cards from area restaurants and banks, and more.
