WESTBOROUGH – Have a special hat that’s perfect to show off during a race?
Wear it to the Lions Club’s Fancy Hat contest that will be part of the annual Rubber Duck Derby on Saturday, May 4, at the Mill Pond Spillway, Mill Road.
Arrive at the spillway by 10:30 a.m. for the hat contest. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative and most fashionable.
The contest is open to those 12 years of age and younger.
The duck race will begin at 11 a.m. The ducks will be simultaneously cast into the spillway and will race to the finish line. The first-place duck earns the duck’s adopter $500, the second-place duck earns $250, and the third-place duck earns $100.
Adopt a duck – one for $10, three ducks for $25, one specialty duck for $30.
Proceeds from the event will fund the club’s scholarship fund.
