United Way for Clinton County is hosting our FIRST annual Wacky Quacky Duck Derby. Our goal is to adopt out 1,500 ducks by August 28, 2023. See our flyer on how you can adopt a duck and have a chance to win $500 cash from our local Farmers Bank. This event will be virtual and LIVE on Facebook. Please LIKE US on FACEBOOK at United Way for Clinton County to watch the derby LIVE. When you ADOPT a duck, each duck has a number and name. Once you scan or text QUACK to 53-555, or scan the QR Code, we will email you your duck number and name.
