What is The Dewey Duck Derby? In brief, it is a Fantastic Flotilla of Fake Fowl. It's a rubber duck race down the "Delaware River" that runs through Don Tyler Park. Numbered ducks are sent through an obstacle course down the "Delaware River" trying to get to the finish line first. The first 4 ducks to cross the finish line net their lucky number owners cash prizes! Duck numbers are sold at City Hall starting in June. All money raised goes back into the fund for the next year's 4th of July celebration.
