The Rotary Club of Casper Great Duck Derby will be taking place Saturday, August 9th at Crossroads Park in conjunction with the Platte River Trails Riverfest.
Ducks will hit the water at 3:30pm and the drawing will be held at 5:00pm.
How does it work?
The Rotary Club of Casper owns thousands of rubber ducks, all with unique numbers printed on the bottom. "Adopt" a duck by making a donation in exchange for a ticket. Your ticket # and contact info will be entered into our master database and then using a randomization program, every ticket is assigned a duck number. Using a massive boom, ducks are all released into the river at once. They are then collected at the finish line and winners are determined by matching the winning duck numbers back to the ticket purchaser.
How do I enter?
Duck Derby tickets are $20.00 each and can be purchased online here or from any local Rotarian up until the day of the event.
What can I win?
1st Place: $5,000 cash prize
2nd Place: $3,000 cash prize
3rd Place: $1,000 cash prize
4th Place: Outdoor cooking equipment

Who does it help?
Proceeds from the Duck Derby have been used to fund past projects including Rotary Park at Garden Creek Falls, Crossroads Adventure Playground and the adjacent Bouldering Park, support for the Wyoming Rescue Mission, Casper College Board Room, Gutter Bins/clean river project, the Wyoming Food for Thought greenhouse project, and the Wyoming Food Bank of the Rockies food packing project.
All proceeds from Duck Derby stay in our local Natrona County community. Proceeds from this year’s Duck Derby will go towards rehabilitating Crossroads Adventure Park, originally constructed by the Rotary Club in 2004.
