(KAIR)--The Salvation Army of Atchison is hosting a duck race this Sunday on the Missouri River as fundraiser for the organization.

To participate, rubber ducks can be purchased at several locations throughout Atchison.

“Each duck that is sold is a numbered duck,” said Salvation Army of Atchison County Coordinator, Kim Bottorff. “We have one through 1,000. We will take those north on the river up to at least the second boat dock. We'll dump those ducks in and they will race down the river to just between the first boat dock and the bridge.”

She said a boat waiting at the finish line will pull out the first three to cross the finish line as well as the last duck.

She says prizes include a pellet grill for first place donated by Golden Star.

Second, is a Pelican Extreme Cooler donated by Blish-Mize.

Third place, is a king fire pit donated by Orsheln Farm & Home.

Prize for the last place duck will be a gas card.

Ducks can be purchased up until 11:30 the day of the race.

“Ducks can be purchases from me at the Salvation Army or get a hold of me via phone or Facebook and I'll come to you,” Bottorff said. “Or they are available at Exchange Bank, the main bank, or Bank of Atchison or Orsheln.”

The Salvation Army of Atchison Duck Race kicks off at noon this Sunday on the Atchison Riverfront.

It's one part of a celebration going on Sunday in Atchison.

A.B.A.T.E. of Kansas District 11 will be celebrating Mother's Day with their 24th annual Mother's Day Ride-In Bike Show.

That kicks off at 10:00 Sunday morning also at the Atchison Riverfront.
