Ducky Race Fundraiser

We took Bentley to the park...


... to join in the annual fun that benefits a local pediatric rehab center.

There were games to play... food to eat and bubbles to chase...
and beautiful trees...
But, the main event involves thousands of ducks. For $5, you can purchase a duck to float down the river for a chance to be one of the first ducks across the finish line. There are a number of prizes that you can win. (50 to be exact) The 2 big prizes were a $1,000 gift certificate to a furniture store, and a $1,000 Visa Gift Card. We didn't win a prize...but...
The real gift is knowing that all the proceeds benefit a wonderful organization for children...a center that has made a huge difference in the lives of so many children.

Here are a few of the ducks before the big race...

Here they are floating down the river...






What a fun day to spend a summer afternoon!
