Ken-Ducky Derby at Greenbank’s Hollow on Sunday, August 19

Hol­lis Pri­or, aka Duck­man, has been busy sell­ing ducks for the first ever Ken-ducky der­by to be held on August 19, 2012. It is a fund rais­er for the Green­bank’s Hol­low his­toric site. Pho­to by Kim Prior

If you haven’t seen him already, stop by and vis­it Hol­lis, the Duck Man, when you see him sell­ing rub­ber ducky num­bers for the first 50–50 Ken-Ducky Der­by to be held August 19 at the park at 1:00. The price per duck chance is $10 or a spe­cial Quack-Pack of $50 buys you six. It is a fun fund rais­er and includes a spe­cial prize for the ladies for the most attrac­tive and appro­pri­ate hat. The His­tor­i­cal Society’s part of the 50–50 will go toward main­te­nance of the park.

The race will take place in about all of fif­teen min­utes,” says Hol­lis, who hopes peo­ple will stick around and buy a hot dog, some of his maple baked beans, or a dessert for a buck a choice. “It will also be a great time for peo­ple to try out the new trail and just have a good time.” (If you’ve nev­er had his baked beans, you’re miss­ing some­thing very special!)

You do not have to be present to win, but come for the fun.
