Join us for a day of Fort River Celebration! Ride a canoe or kayak down the river from Kiwanis Park on Stanley Street to Groff Park, then join us for discovery stations to learn about mussels, lamprey, and other fish and macroinvertebrates that call the Fort River home. Bring a lunch and race a duck in our Rubber Ducky Derby at 1:00
Rubber Ducky Derby: This year, our famous Rubber Ducky Derby will be a raffle to support the Fort River Stewardship Project. When you buy a raffle ticket, the number on your ticket will correspond with a numbered duck that will race at the Fort River Celebration Day. Prizes (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) this year include a trip down the Deerfield River for two with Crabapple Whitewater, a party with Central Rock Gym, and a kayak rental with Adventure Outfitters! (Additional prizes will be awarded too!) Participants need not be present at the derby to win. Buy a raffle ticket for $5 at any of the following locations: LimeRed Teahouse, People's Acupuncture, Copy Cat Printing, Hitchcock Center for the Environment.
Canoe/Kayak Ride: Ride a canoe or kayak from Kiwanis Park on Stanley Street down to Groff Park! Register here online for a canoe - First Come, First Serve! Please let us know if you will be burrowing a canoe or bringing your own canoe/kayak, and the size of your party. We strongly encourage a donation of $20 for the guided canoe ride that will benefit the Fort River Stewardship Project.
