Cameron County
Fireworks Committee is getting a jump start on fundraising for the 2014
fireworks. The Firequacker 2014 is a
duck derby that will be held Saturday October 19 in Emporium.
Ducks are adopted and
then the “adopted trainers” watch as their numbered duck races toward the
finish line in South Park. The first
duck to cross the finish line wins $100.00, the second place finisher wins
$75.00 and the third place winner takes home $50.00.
Ducks will be
available for adoption each night at the Cameron County Fair. The price is $2.00 for one and a 6-quack can
be adopted for $10.00. Currently ducks
may also be adopted at GE Motor coils, Emporium Pharmacy and the Cameron County
Chamber of Commerce office.
Organizers say the
thunderous fireworks last month were heralded as some of the best in the
region. Fundraising to pay for the event
is a year round adventure beginning with the Firequacker Duck Derby and
including the Autumn Fest, Holiday House Tour, and Breakfast with the Easter
Bunny. Donations from organizations,
businesses, attendees and private individuals allow the event to continue each
year.
