This Saturday, Aug 14, from 3pm - 5pm, a DUCK RACE AND PLUCK will be held at the Dawes Park lagoon in Evanston. This event is held to raise funds for the care of the "critters" that reside at the Evanston Ecology Center. Rubber ducks race on waves created by volunteers with paddles. Sponsor one duck for $10, or three (in a Quack Pack) for $25. Kids and adults alike will have fun. Attendees can win cool prizes. For more information, or to reserve ducks, call 847 448-8256.
