CROGHAN, N.Y. — It’s back and in person!
On Sunday April 24th, 2022, the Oswegatchie Educational Center, Long Pond Rd., Croghan, NY will hold the 28th Annual AdironDUCK Race and Pancake Breakfast. The day begins with an “All You Can Eat” Pancake Breakfast starting at 8 AM till 12:00 Noon. Breakfast will be served out of our new Sentinel Hall.
The high point will be the dumping of as many as 10,000 rubber ducks into the chilly waters of the Oswegatchie River. The adopters of the first 15 ducks to cross the gates will receive cash prizes including a $2,000 grand prize. Ducks may be adopted the day of the race. Ducks are raced at 1 PM.
Oswegatchie will also be holding the annual “AdironDUCK 6K Trail Run, Walk, or Ride” at 10 AM. Participants will travel around Long Pond on a mixed trail system with everything from single track, dirt road, and pavement. This is a self-timed event. Registration is $10, but includes a free pancake breakfast.
Our headlining entertainer is Troy Wunderle’s One Man Circus performing at 11 AM. Oswegatchie will also have other venues for entertainment on the property, plus the Adirondack Artisan’s Guild will be on exhibit. An ecumenical church service is also available at 9:30 in Getman Lodge.
