United Rehabilitation Services of Greater Dayton (URS) is seeking volunteers to attend local festivals in the Dayton area during the summer to promote the 8th Annual URS Rubber Duck Regatta and sell $5 duck adoptions. The 8th Annual Rubber Duck Regatta is the release and river race of up to 15,000 bright yellow rubber ducks for a controlled race down the Great Miami River. Ducks will be “released” south of downtown’s Pedestrian Bridge, float down the river and finish at RiverScape’s Festival Plaza. This event takes place on September 17th in conjunction with the Taste of Miami Valley. (One duck “adoption” equals one entry/duck in the race”)
