It's Duck Season! No - It's Wabbit Season! NO! Duck Season!

Why adopt a duck?

In addition to the unimaginable excitement of seeing your own duck race with 49,999 others, you will also have the satisfaction of knowing that your $5.00 donation will help feed families in need right here in Omaha, NE.

The Food Bank began the "O! What a Duck Race!" as a way to raise funds for The Food Bank. We wanted to create a fun and free community event that increased the awareness of hunger in our community.

The Food Bank is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce hunger in Nebraska and western Iowa through community collaboration, making the best possible use of all available resources. Food is distributed to people in 77 Nebraska counties and 16 western Iowa counties.

You can purchase your ducks beginning tomorrow morning at the kick off events at the following times and locations:

8am - Noon: Baker's 156th & Dodge

11a - 1:30p: Panera Bread, Saddle Creek & Dodge

11a-1:30p: Old Chicago, Shadow Lake Towne Center

If you would like more information about the race and the calendar of events leading up to it visit http://www.owhataduckrace.org/index.htm/.

Spread the word that July 25, 2009 is a FREE Family Festival that features games and activities for the whole family and the racing of 50,000 ducks!
