Peninsula Rotary 2.0 will be hosting the Kananook Duck Derby, Sponsored by Harbour Frankston, the proceeds will support local community organisations including providing access to Frankston’s beach to the disabled.
On Saturday 8th February at 1:00 pm, the Peninsula Rotary 2.0 Club with the help of Interactors from Frankston High School will be releasing 1200 numbered rubber duckies into Kananook Creek from the footbridge at the end of Playne Street Frankston and they will race to a collection point near Frankston Boat Hire near Davey Street. Some may go swimmingly and others might go upside down and float upstream being less aerodynamic; who knows! However, it will be worth checking out the place-getters as there are some seriously great prizes!
First duck to be scooped from the line will win a $1000 Karingal Hub shopping voucher.
The second and third ducks scooped will receive $200 and $100 Village Movie (Karingal) Vouchers and we have additional prizes donated by our fabulous Frankston Restaurants.
All you have to do to take part in this spectacular spectacle is to click on “Buy Ticket Here” and purchase a Lucky Duck entry number for $10. This means your duck will be racing and be eligible for a prize. We will have a podium presentation after the race to present the wonderful prizes. A limited number of tickets will be available on the day so make sure you secure a berth prior to the event.
