Rubber ducks and water just go together, but too much of the latter has washed out a popular fundraising event this weekend. The annual “Ducktona”, sponsored by Sheboygan Falls Chamber-Main Street, had to be cancelled due to the twice-flooded grounds of River Park in Sheboygan Falls. The event, which besides the rubber duck race on the Sheboygan River was to include a classic antique boat and car show that had over 300 entries, along with food and entertainment on the grounds, was scheduled for Sunday, but has now been reduced to a raffle-only at 3 p.m. on the 7th at the Chamber office on Broadway Avenue.
National Weather Service records show that 1-1/3 inches of rain has already fallen within just the first two days of July, and that follows the 6-1/3 inches that fell during June, almost double the usual amount. That’s left the River Park grounds too soft to support the festival and crowds that would have shown up.
Those wishing to support the Sheboygan Falls Chamber-Main Street through the raffle can still buy tickets for $5 each or 5 tickets for $20. Find more information by calling the Chamber at 920-467-6206.
