Tioga County Council on the Arts regrets to
announce that the Ducks “Chickened Out” at the Duck Derby and
refused to take a “swan dive” into the cold, swift waters of the
Susquehanna River!! MaMa Duck would not let her ducklings take the
plunge, but the public can still take the plunge at a chance to
possibly win some “cold cash”! Please call the Arts Council at
687-0785 for your opportunity to buy a duck to enter the race to the
museum. First Place will win $250, Second Place and Third Place win
$100 each and the next five duckies to cross the finish line win $50
each. The date of the Duck Derby has yet to be rescheduled. Please
call the Arts Council or keep checking our website to learn
when the event will take place.
