27th Annual (almost!) World Famous Labor Day Rubber Ducky Regatta
The Western White Mountains Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Labor Day Rubber Ducky Regatta took place on Monday, September 4th! We launched close to 1,300 ducks into the Pemigewasset River at Cascade Park in North Woodstock, NH where they raced down the river, over rocks and down waterslides in hopes of finishing the fastest (or last!) in this annual race. Spectators and kids enjoyed getting into the river and along the banks of the river to help and assist our ducks when they got stuck in between a rock and hard place. All winners have been notified by email or phone on Tuesday, September 5th.
This popular event was all it is “quacked up” to be… and one that we look forward to all summer long. It was a great way for the entire family to enjoy the unofficial end of summer in the Basecamp of the White Mountains. This event raises money towards the chamber’s scholarship fund, which is awarded every year to a local high school senior. “Your support to this community is greatly appreciated. This scholarship will help me achieve a higher education and enable me to give back to my future community”. Anna H., 2022 Scholarship recipient.
Thank you for continuing to support this event and the Lin-Wood community. We look forward to seeing you NEXT Labor Day!
