This month's race will be along New York State's Oswegatchie River. The Oswegatchie Educational Center is sponsoring a rubber ducky race as a fund raiser for their summer camp program. I couldn't find any information on how far the ducks float down the river, so we'll pretend they go the whole 137-mile length.
