Racing Rubber Ducks Revisit Occoquan

The Duck Splash returned to Occoquan this year, and about 3000 rubber ducks plunged into the river and raced from the footbridge to a spot near the Route 123 bridge. 

The 7th Annual Duck Splash is a fundraiser for the Prince William Trails and Streams Coalition, which sells rubber duck adoption tickets each year. The winning duck's owner gets a prize of $500.
