Save the date for Warwick’s annual Duck Derby

Winslow Therapeutic Riding Center’s 34th Annual Duck Derby will take place Sunday, May 18, at the Warwick Farmers Market.

Kicking off at 1:30 p.m., Winslow Duck Derby team members will pour thousands of numbered plastic ducks into the Wawayanda Creek at 16 South St. The ducks will travel downstream while viewers cheer them on. Spectators can view the event from any of the bridges that cross over Wawayanda Creek in the village, from Allstate on South Street to the railroad track crossing bridge on Oakland Avenue.

Several local businesses have sponsored prizes that will be assigned to the first eight ducks to cross the finish line and enter the prize-winning receptacle.

First prize is $1000 cash, sponsored by Vogel & Moore Insurance. Second prize, sponsored by CLC Foundation, is an Apple Watch Series 10. Third prize is a Nintendo Switch, sponsored by Ryan O’Leary financial advisor Edward Jones. Fourth prize, sponsored by 2 the 9s Automotive, is a 50-inch Insignia Fire TV. Fifth prize is a $250 gift certificate for Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, sponsored by Fogo de Chão of Paramus, N.J. Sixth prize, sponsored by Wanderlust Boutique, is a Fire HD 10 Tablet. Seventh prize is a Farmers Market Basket sponsored by vendors at the Warwick Valley Farmers Market. Eighth prize is a gift certificate for three traditional or therapeutic horseback riding lessons at Winslow Therapeutic Center.
