Ducky Day in Tipton Park

Sunday, August 24, 2008
1:30 - 4 pm
(Duck Derby @ 4 pm)

 

Organized by Tipton County Foundation, With Leadership and Support from Staff and Volunteers of These Partners:
 

Tipton Lions Club

This fun event for the whole family is now in its sixth year, and will be conducted on the fourth Sunday of the month, August 24, beginning at 1:30 pm. Each child will get a wristband for $3, entitling her or him to enjoy all the games, “rides,” crafts, and other fun organized by the Boys & Girls Club of Tipton County for the afternoon. They will also receive a coupon toward the cost of food and beverages provided by the Lions Club of Tipton, or ice cream from the Mustard Seed. Free to everyone of any age is the entertainment by Tipton County singers and dancers all afternoon at the Gazebo.

 Each child also gets a numbered ticket, matching a duck in the Duck Derby at 4 pm, where lucky ducks will be drawn from the pond and prizes will be awarded to youngsters with the matching duck numbers.

In particular, thank you to the young entertainers, and the student athletes, student councils, and club members from the two high schools and middle schools who help run so many of the activities. This summer-ending celebration for youngsters at family-friendly prices is always well-attended and well-supported by volunteer efforts. Thank you to all of them!

 

Families may wish to bring lawn chairs or blankets for relaxation during the afternoon.
