-50% of the proceeds are split between 3 winners:
1st place = 30%
2nd place = 15%
3rd place = 5%

Following the Duck Derby, move up above the Pomme de Terre Dam by the Us. Army Corps of Engineers office for the festivities prior to Fireworks Over the Water. A DJ from 4:30-7 pm will be providing a variety of music as you visit the booths next to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office and then The County Liners will be playing from 7 pm until the Fireworks start at dusk around 9:30 pm. The Fireworks celebration displays over the lake, drawing large numbers of people along the shorelines, parks, picnic areas, and boats on the water.
