WIN $1,000 THIS SUNDAY AT ANYTHING THAT FLOATS EVENT
ROCKFORD, Ill. - The Rockford IceHogs are sponsoring a Rubber Duck race down the Rock River this Sunday (Aug. 20) at this year’s “Anything that Floats” event. Rubber ducks are still available for purchase at $5 for one duck and $20 for five ducks, and the participant whose duck finishes the race first will receive a grand prize of $1,000.
Ducks are available for purchase at the BMO Harris Bank Center Box Office, Friday’s City Market and local YMCA locations, including the Pennock Family YMCA, Northeast Branch and Puri Family YMCA.
Sunday’s race will begin at approximately 3 p.m. The rubber ducks will be dropped into the river off Whitman St. Bridge and will float towards the Prairie St. Brewhouse.
Cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $250 will be awarded to the first, second and third-place finishers of the duck race, respectively, and additional prizes for participants will include an IceHogs suite for one game during the 2017-18 hockey season, game-worn memorabilia, an autographed IceHogs stick and several tickets to Hogs home games for the upcoming campaign.
A portion of this year’s proceeds will benefit local charities, including Rock River Trail Initiative, Ski Broncs and 4th of July Fireworks Committee.
The “Anything that Floats” event, which returned last summer, will begin along the Rock River near Whitman St. Bridge in downtown Rockford and culminate in front of the Prairie St. Brewhouse.
