Hudson’s Duck Drop is a fundraising event held in memory of Hudson Curren. Ducks are dropped from the Main Street Bridge into the Black Fork Mohican River to race to the finish line at the Parrot Head Pub patio. Proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Hudson’s Duck Drop is an opportunity for Hudson’s legacy to continue in support of other families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
The 3rd annual Hudson's Duck Drop is scheduled to be held July 26 from 5-9 p.m. with the Drop taking place at 8 p.m. at the Parrot Head Pub. It's a family-friendly event with live music, a food truck, games for kids, prizes, a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and more.
The event itself is FREE - no tickets needed. For each $10 donation to "adopt a duck," you will receive a unique duck number. You can adopt ducks online or in-person at the Parrot Head Pub. Prizes will be awarded for the first 3 ducks to cross the finish line, as well as the last duck to cross. You do not need to be present to win.
All ducks are accounted for at the finish line by our awesome volunteers and a net ensures no ducks are left behind or sneak past us. We plan to use them all again for next year’s Drop!
The Parrot Head Pub takes great care in maintaining the area between the bridge and the bar year-round - with beautification projects and flood mitigation. We go the extra mile to ensure that the Black Fork River stays beautiful and litter-free for our city and the real ducks before AND after Hudson’s Duck Drop!
