DUCKS BOB DOWN THE BLACK RIVER FOR 25TH ANNUAL DUCK RACE
LUDLOW, Vt. WCAX (August 24, 2024) by Connor Ullathorne
After a year off due to last year’s July floods, rubber ducks splashed into the waters in Ludlow for the 25th annual race.
Bobbing up and down in a race between bridges, onlookers peered across waters as the 25th annual duck race splashed through Ludlow.
The Ludlow Rotary Club threw around 850 rubber ducks into the flowing waters of the Black River Saturday, hoping to raise money for multiple local organizations, and promote a weekend of fun after a tough year for the town.
“It’s always been a big event here, but in the last 12, 14 months these things like this are even more important and more vital to get out even when you’ve got a duck in the race or you’re just coming to watch and see some of the community members, it’s just good to get out,” Brendan McNamara, Ludlow Municipal Manager said.
