Over 3,000 rubber ducks are dumped into Mosquito Creek in Tawawa Park to start the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County Duck Derby Thursday, June 23. Zak Hurley, of New Bremen, had his duck cross the finish line first winning him the $1,000 grand prize. The Duck N’ Run 5K was held later at the entrance to Tawawa Park with 250 registered participants this year. Overall results can be found at www.goodtimesracing.com. Proceeds from the event will benefit the local Big Brothers Big Sisters agency which matches at-risk children with volunteer adult role models. These volunteers who are screened thoroughly by agency staff meet with children at least two times per month offering guidance, support, and positive role-modeling. The concept of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to get community members to open up their lives to a young child within their own community. It does not take a great deal of time, money, or talent; the volunteers just need to care about children. For more information on how you can become a volunteer contact the local agency at 937-492-7611, 937-547-9622, or visit their website at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org.
