Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County is proud to announce that the 4-H Duck Race will take place on Sunday, April 27th, 2025 from 11am-4pm. Join us to watch 3000 bright yellow rubber ducks tumble over the Cascadilla Creek falls at the Cornell Botanic Gardens' Cascadilla Gorge Trail then bob down the creek in a frantic and fabulous race to Cornell Cooperative Extension on Willow Avenue. Take a chance on a duck and win GREAT PRIZES if your duck among the first ones to cross the finish line! Enjoy refreshments, entertainment, activities for families all afternoon long, at the CCE-Tompkins Education Center at 615 Willow Avenue in Ithaca. All proceeds support 4-H youth programs in Tompkins County!
One duck chance is $5.00 or a flock of five ducks is $20.00. Each entry is assigned a number corresponding with the duck(s) prior to the event.
Your duck numbers will be available 11am, Sunday, April 27th, at CCE.
PRIZES: Top-finishing ducks win great prizes donated by local businesses and individuals. PRIZES FOR 2025 ARE PENDING.
We greatly appreciate your support in continuing this tradition by contributing to this extremely beneficial fundraiser. All proceeds from the 4-H Duck Race will go directly into supporting 4-H youth development programs that have been helping to build career and life skills of youth across the county for over 75 years.
