The Ducky Derby drop from the Third Avenue bridge into the Washougal River is a sight to behold. Thousands of rubber ducks will race down the river at noon Sunday to raise money for Camas-Washougal Rotary Club service projects and scholarships. Each duck costs $5 to adopt. (Post-Record File photo)

At high noon Sunday, July 23, thousands of rubber ducks will take the plunge off the Third Avenue Bridge into the Washougal River.

The 23rd annual Ducky Derby is the Camas-Washougal Rotary Club’s primary fundraiser. Folks “adopt” the ducks for $5 each, then hope their duck is the fastest one down the river. Considering that the grand prize is a trip to Hawaii, it’s understandable that the annual duck race is a big Camas Days’ attraction.
