A unique event is on tap for June 27 which will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Georgia of which the new Barnesville club is affiliated. The Duck Derby takes place along the Yellow River near Porterdale. Participants sponsor a duck for $20. On derby day, 6000 numbered ducks are dumped into the river and follow a roped course to the finish line. The owner of the winning duck takes home $10,000. You can buy a duck at the local club building at the rear of the LCES campus or online at bgcngc.com/duckderby. If you purchase online, make sure to select Barnesville in the portal so the local club benefits from your donation. For more information, call Sandra Watts at 678.572.3156.
