Duck Derby

June 30, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Quack all about it! Premier Arts announces a creative new fundraiser, the 1st Annual Ducky Derby sponsored by INOVA Federal Credit Union. Adopt a rubber ducky for a chance to win the $1,000 grand prize and support the Elkhart ArtWalk now hosted by Premier Arts. A flock of ducks is set to float from the Elkhart Ave. Bridge to the E. Jackson St. Bridge on Thursday, June 30th during June’s ArtWalk at 5:30 PM. All are welcome to stand along the riverwalk and cheer on the ducks as they race to the finish line. “Thanks to the Elkhart Fire Department for safely dropping and collecting our ducks. None of this fun would be possible without their help and the support of our sponsor, INOVA!” said Ashley Molyneaux from Premier Arts”.

“Local arts and culture initiatives, and local businesses have a substantial economic impact on a community, so it’s only fitting as the only locally headquartered financial institution in downtown Elkhart, that INOVA continues to support the Elkhart ArtWalk.” said Kerie Sekal, Vice President of Marketing and Member Engagement for INOVA Federal. “INOVA was originally established back in 1942 to serve the employees of Miles Laboratories, so our roots run deep here. Being the presenting sponsor of this new Ducky Derby event is just another fun way for us to continue to partner with our community and celebrate our 80th anniversary.”
