Watch Warminster's 2020 Rubber Ducky Regatta (ICYMI)
See who the winners are in the popular local event, which was held virtually this year due to the coronvirus.
WARMINSTER, PA — The coronavirus outbreak may have pushed it back from May and turned it into a digital-only event. But, for the 25th year, Warminster's popular Rubber Ducky Regatta has hit Neshaminy Creek.
The event, a fundraiser for Warminster's parks and recreation department, was posted online over the weekend.
While the waters on the Neshaminy were "low and slow" for the event, according to officials, the video they posted is condensed to give you all the rubber ducky action without any waiting.

In the race, hundreds of rubber duckies float a quarter-mile down the Neshaminy Creek toward the finish line. The first four ducks to cross the finish line earn cash prizes for the owners of their tickets.
Traditionally, families are invited to picnic and watch the contest. But, with coronavirus concerns continuing, the live portion of this year's regatta was canceled.
