Port Macquarie Lions gear up for annual Charity Duck Race

PORT Macquarie Lions will hold its annual Charity Duck Race on Easter Sunday, 5 April, a unique and beloved community spectacle. 

“As always, the public and business communities of Port Macquarie have been generous in their support of this year’s beneficiaries – Endeavour Clubhouse, Hastings Education Fund and Marine Rescue,” a spokesperson for Lions told NOTA.

Final ticket sales will commence around 10.00am, with the big race scheduled around 11.45am.

“Public tickets are already on sale, but you can grab last minute Lucky Duck tickets for $5 each, on Saturday 4 April, from either Settlement City or Port Central,” the spokesperson said.

“Tickets will also be available on Race Day, unless sold out before – don’t leave it too late!”

For Duck Race novices, each ticket number corresponds to one of the 2,000 plastic ducks in the race.  First prize is $600.

You may purchase on race day, or for tickets or information, contact John on 0420 435 457.
