Adopt Now!

Adopt a duck now! No, not a real duck ... it's time for the 1st Annual Lakeland Running of the Ducks.
The Running of the Ducks will kick off the Lakeland Derby with over 1,000 rubber ducks sprinting, swimming, floating their way to the finish line. Race time is 5:00PM.

So get out there and adopt a duck! Adoptions are $10 per duck.  Your adoption papers and your duck will have corresponding numbers. Ducks are available for adoption now and will continue until 4:30PM the day of the event. So, don't delay!
