Rubber ducks are available for adoption for just $5 each and less per duck when adopted in packages of 5, 13, 25, and 50., You can adopt online or at the Nevada Humane Society shelter in both Reno and Carson City. In addition, ducks are available at a variety of community events, including farmers markets, Reno Aces games, and more.
Grand prize is a new 2018 Toyota Corolla donated by Dick Campagni's Carson City Toyota Scion. The first duck (not necessarily the fastest duck) to reach the finish line and enter the official duck trap will be the grand prize winner and can drive off with the car that night.
