Great Calusa Land Trust Rubber Duck Race March 5
After a long 1 1/2-year of quiet hibernation, the 3,000 bright yellow ducks are in their winter nesting grounds. Soon they will start their rigorous exercises and training in preparation for 2022 Duck Race on the island!
The Great Calusa Rubber Duck Race will be held Saturday, March 5, at the Low Key Tiki in St. James City.
A fun filled day awaits everyone with live and silent auctions, entertainment, food, beverages and games for all ages.
The event supports the Calusa Land Trust, Pine Island’s all-volunteer conservancy. CLT officials say they could not fulfill its mission to acquire, preserve and protect the islands without volunteers and donors. If you have recently moved to the island and/or have a new business on the island and would like to donate an item for the silent auction, live auction, plant table, lucky duck wheels or money to the Duck Race and/or volunteer to work the day of the race, please call or text Alice Trant, Queen Duck Wrangler, at 239-243-6381 or email atrant1661@comcast.net and we can make it happen!
Duck Race tickets will be on sale this month from CLT volunteers and at island restaurants and eateries in January.
The first place duck wins $1,000!
