It’s a really quacky concept. To win the guaranteed Grand Prize of $10,000 cash, all you have to do is adopt a duck. Duck Adoptions range in price from $5-$250. Each duck you adopt will be released into the Etowah River and the winning duck will win $10,000.
What is included with a $250 VID package?
You will get 1 duck entered in the VID race that takes place immediately before the main race. The winning VID duck will take home a $1,000 cash prize. Also included with a VID package are 50 ducks entered in the main race with the winner taking home the $10,000 prize!
