Keith Nagle, President of Discover Downtown Middlesboro
said, “The money raised from the event goes right back into our programs to
help improve the physical appearance, business environment, and to support
other downtown events throughout the year.”
The highlight of the event each year is when several hundred
ducks are dropped into the Canal. People line the Canal on both sides and watch
to see which duck first crosses the finish line. For $5 you can buy a ticket
with a number that corresponds with one of the hundreds of ducks for your
chance to win cash and prizes. Tickets are on sale at businesses downtown. Look
for a big duck out front.
Then immediately after the race starting at 7pm there will
be the first-ever Dancing in the Street event at Cumberland Ave and 20th
Street. Bring a chair and enjoy!
A special thank you to our sponsors including Southeast
Kentucky Community & Technical College, Coca-Cola, GRW, Home Federal Bank, Mikel's Pharmacy, and World Wide Gap.
