The Zoom Duck Derby was set to take place on Sunday, July 17th however the weather had other plans! Unfortunately, we had to cancel the event at Zoombezi Bay. This didn't stop us from having some fun and picking our winners!
We had our Integrated Adult Day and Workforce Development clients help us narrow down our pool of 5,000 to under 100! We spread out all thirty-two tubs of ducks (only thirty-two tubs to hold 5,000 ducks?!) and each client got to pick three ducks!
Next, we had Calvin Gebhart from First Citizens National Bank, our Fun in the Sun Zone sponsor, come to Alpha and pick our winners! The lucky winners in order of 1st - 3rd are: Brad Schneider, Joan Swarts and Barbara & Stephen McGuire! Congrats to our winners and THANK YOU to everyone who adopted a duck! This year was a first for the Derby and we loved having our clients help us pick our winners. We are already very excited to return to Zoombezi Bay next year however and are ready to make it the best year yet!
