Hundreds of rubber ducks will race to a finish line to raise money for the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve in Citrus County. The winning duck earns its owner $200. Last place earns $50. The race depends on the current, the wind and a little luck, and no one has to train.
The fundraising event supports maintenance, programs and future needs at the preserve. Chronicle reporter Mike Arnold wrote about the race, which is organized by the Friends of the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve, a group that works with the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners.
