Ducks are still available to buy for tonight’s Duck Derby for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ellis County. The ducks can still be purchased online today until 2 p.m. at www.haysduckderby.net.

Ducks will be available for purchase in person at the Hays Aquatic Park, 300 Main, from the time the park opens today at noon until 5:45 p.m. You, and your duck, could win the grand prize of a 2015 Chevy Spark. The car is donated by:

James Motor Company
Hays Chevrolet
Car Zone
Auto World
Lewis Automotive Group of Hays
Happy’s Autos

There will be thousands of ducks racing down the lazy river. Prizes will be awarded to the first 10 ducks crossing the finish line.

Also, local businesses will build boats made only of cardboard and duct tape for the “Hays ‘Merica Cardboard Regatta.” It will be a lot of fun cheering on your favorite boat, maybe watching some sink, and some hopefully crossing the finish line!
