The 2nd Annual Macon Waves Ducky Derby was held on Saturday August 24th. The Franklin Young Professionals had been working hard these past few months preparing for the event and selling tickets for the event. The ducks went into the river at 2:00 pm. The duck race was a bit more exciting this year than last. The river was flowing a bit faster and the ducks were much more spread out in the river. It was exciting to watch the first lucky duck cross the finish line. Congrats to all of our lucky winners!

We would like to thank all of our individuals and local businesses that sponsored our event!
