Just noticed a typo in our post about the Duck Race, due to take place on July 4.  The price to sponsor a duck is actually $5, not $3 – which makes the option of 3 ducks for $10 a much better deal!  There is still time to get in on the action.  Visit this Sunday’s Farmers’ Market, the Yachats Visitors’ Center, Raindogs, or Waldport Video to purchase tickets.  All proceeds support activities for children and youth.

Bring out the tie-dye and join the Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program group in the traditional la-de-da parade on the fourth of the July! Meet behind the Yachats Commons at 11:30 AM.   Afterwards, enter the 5th Annual Duck Race and sponsor a duck for only $5 or $10 for 3 ducks. The Duck Race begins at 2:30 PM on July 4^th, and the first 20 lucky ducks who race down the Yachats River will win vacation packages, skateboard package, fine art, a bicycle and more! Check out the prize display at the Bank of the West in Yachats.  All proceeds support the Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program whose mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for children, to be an advocate for youth and families, and to provide and encourage activities that integrate youth into the community. Tickets can be purchased at the Yachats Farmers Market, Waldport Video, Raindogs, Yachats Visitor Center, and the Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program.
