MACON, Ga. — People got to have a quack-tastic time at the 6th Annual Ocmulgee Duck Dash Saturday.
The event was presented by Cox and hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters Heart of Georgia. The fundraiser is used to help serve Central Georgia's youth with mentoring programs.
Besty Fitzgerald, the president of the organization, shared her favorite part of the Duck Dash.
"We get to meet new people, we get to recruit new mentors, but more importantly, we get to celebrate our little duckies and cheer them on as they race down the river today," said Fitzgerald.
Before the races, people could adopt One Lucky Duck for $10, adopt a Quack Pack or 6 ducks for $50, adopt a Quackers Dozen or 14 ducks for $100, or adopt a Flock of Ducks (30) for $250.
This year's event was bigger than ever because participants had two ways to win -- ducks raced at both Amerson River Park in Macon and Rigby's Water World in Warner Robins.
During the race, the first three ducks to cross the finish line won a prize and one lucky duck won $1,000.
