Adopt your Ducks here! Winters community members are able to adopt a duck to represent them in the 11th annual Duck Derby race on Sunday June 8 at 11:30 a.m. The Duck Derby is a family-fun tradition where the community gathers to watch as flocks of yellow rubber ducks float down Putah Creek toward the finish line. The first three ducks to cross receive a cash prize, while the last duck pulled from the water wins a flock of 12 ducks in the next year’s race.
