(KAIR)--An annual Atchison tradition reaches the 8-year-mark, as the Salvation Army Great Duck Race is set to return to the Missouri River this coming Saturday.
Salvation Army of Atchison County Coordinator Kim Bottoroff says the little plastic floating ducks are available for purchase in the Atchison community:
According to Bottoroff, the annual duck race has become a major fundraiser for Atchison's Salvation Army, providing the funds necessary for the various programs of assistance the agency offers locally. The duck race, along with the annual Christmas season Red Kettle Drive, is key to keeping the Salvation Army's services in place.
The 8th annual duck race is planned from 10:00 to 2:00 on Saturday, , at the Atchison Riverfront, in the area of Independence Park, with a 1:00 duck launch on the river. Billed as "fun for the entire family," the days activities will also include a kids corner, a car show, prizes, live music, and vendors.
