Fresh off another successful Adult Spelling Bee, the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel (WC) Noon is proud to invite everyone in the Wesley Chapel and Central Pasco areas to its first-ever “Duck Derby,” which will be held Saturday, May 21, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., “lakeside” at Hungry Harry’s Bar-B-Que, which is located minutes from Wesley Chapel at 3116 Land O’Lakes Blvd. (aka U.S. Hwy. 41), Land O’Lakes.

WC Noon Rotary Club Duck Derby organizers John Jay (the DJ) and Vicki Hamilton of Smart Health Inc. say the Duck Derby is a fun, family-friendly event where attendees “purchase” anywhere from one duck for $5 to a flock of 25 ducks for $100. The ducks are numbered on the bottom and loaded into a body of water to “race.” If your duck finishes in a high enough position in the Derby, you win a great prize — and all to support the selected charities supported by the club, including its own 501(c)(3c) nonprofit foundation — the “Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel Noon Fund.”

“It’s such a fun day for everyone, no matter what age you are,” says John. “We have live musical entertainment lined up, a fun Kids Zone (with inflatables, games, face painting and more), great Hungry Harry’s food for sale and some really great prizes.”

Among those prizes are an all-day fishing trip for 5 with a charter boat captain (a $600+ value); a weekend (2-night) stay at Saddlebrook Resort Tampa ($500); a free weekend rental of a Ford Mustang convertible donated by Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel; a $250 certificate for auto repairs from TWA Firestone; a handmade fishing rod by WC Rotarian Jimmy Mason ($300), restaurant gift certificates and more.

This year’s Duck Derby Big Bird Sponsor ($4,500) is Fun Services of Land O’Lakes, owned by WC Rotarian Jodi Sullivan (FuntasticEvents.com). The Donald Duck Sponsor ($1,000) is Sam’s Club of Wesley Chapel and the Rubber Ducky Sponsor ($250) is Cash 4 Gold of Wesley Chapel (Kash4Gold.com). See you there!
