THE great Duck Race is back again following great success at last year’s event. The race is the major fund-raiser for the Noosa Heads Nippers and last year hundreds turned out to cheer on the ducks as they came in to shore on Noosa Main Beach.
The great Duck Race will be held on Friday 9 December, at 5pm, on Noosa Main Beach – at the front of the Noosa Heads Surf Club.
Event organisers said last year was a great success and they’re expecting an even bigger event this year.
Tickets to the event are $40 per person and includes a barbecue dinner, drinks and a numbered duck that will race to the shore for a chance to win a cash prize.
The ducks will be released in Laguna Bay at 6pm and the first one back wins the money. Tickets are available at www.duckrace.com.au
The Noosa Nippers will also hold their Christmas break-up party along with the major fund-raiser for the season, the Duck Race.
The activities will include a walk-to-wall swim, which is all about participation and having fun. Nippers and parents can use floating aids, flippers and kick boards to swim Laguna Bay all in the name of charity
Registrations for the swim will open at 3pm with a 4pm start time and the gold coin donation will go to Ronald McDonald House.
For the smaller Nippers there will be beach activities and games with prizes to be won.
