Lucky ducks race for causes at Duck Fest

March 20, 2019 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Hundreds attended the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel Noon’s fourth annual Duck Fest at FOP Pasco Lodge 29, 21735 YMCA Camp Road in Land O’Lakes. The free family event, on March 10, featured a bounce house, games, a classic car show and the musical entertainment of Mr. Tommy. There was a duck derby where guests could ‘adopt’ a rubber duck to race in Bell Lake for a chance to win cash and prizes. Proceeds from the event will benefit Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Tampa Bay and The Pasco Sheriff’s K-9 Association.

Eighteen-month-old Olivia Manzur, of Wesley Chapel, holds on to the duck that she adopted for a chance to win a prize during the duck derby. The youngster was at the event with her father, Danny, and her uncle, Alex.
The ‘Queen Duck,’ Duck Fest Chairman Jodie Sullivan, stands in the shallow water’s edge of Bell Lake as the first of the ducks make their way to the finish line. Sullivan will pluck several prize winners out of the water. The lucky first-place duck won $1,000.
