The Troy Wunderle One Man Circus performs at 10 AM in our pavilion. At 11:00 AM, the Adirondack Storyteller Bill Smith will perform. 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.
The day will be highlighted by the dumping of as many as 10,000 rubber ducks into the chilly waters of the Oswegatchie River. The adopters of the first 10 ducks to cross the gates will receive cash prizes including a $2,000 grand prize. Ducks may be adopted the day of the race, but supply is limited to 10,000!
An exciting Tidbit, when you purchase ducks online at www.adironduckrace.com, you can credit any New York FFA Chapter with the sale of those ducks. In return, that FFA chapter gets 50% of the money back to them in the form of duck bucks, which they can use for any program or summer campership at Oswegatchie! It’s the best way for FFA members to invest their time in helping themselves!
