Attendees will enjoy food, face painting and entertainment followed by the duck race at 12:30 p.m. where up to 10,000 rubber ducks will be dropped into the Wepawaug River for a race to the finish line! “We are excited to co-host the second Annual Milford Harbor Duck Race,” said Gary Johnson, President of the United Way of Milford. “This is a fantastic opportunity for families to come out and enjoy a day full of activities, entertainment, music and food. The Duck Race celebrates the organization’s commitment to help people and it’s a way for the city to gather together and support the Milford community.”
Close to 10,000 ducks will make their way down the Wepawaug River on June 1. The United Way of Milford and the Woodruff Family YMCA are currently accepting sponsors for this unique event. A sponsor can be an individual, a family, a company, agency or club and becoming a sponsor is a fun and exciting way to get involved in the race while keeping two feet on land.
