Adopt a duck for $5 and race it in the Rubber Duck Relay and if your duck crosses the finish line first, you will win $500.00 cash. Second place will receive $100.00 and third place will win $25.00 Over a thousand numbered ducks are dropped off the North Fork Bridge in Beattyville where they will float down 50 yards to the finish line. The best view is from the water but you can also watch the action from the Beattyville City Park. All proceeds of the festival go to the construction of the Lee County Emergency Shelter. For more information contact the Beattyville Housing and Development Corporation at (606) 464-5031.
