Posted

SULLIVAN COUNTY — On Sunday, April 28th the Oswegatchie Educational Center, 9340 Long Pond Road, Croghan, NY will hold the 30th Annual AdironDUCK Race and Pancake Breakfast. The day begins with an “All You Can Eat” Pancake Breakfast starting at 8am until noon.

The high point will be the dumping of as many as 10,000 rubber ducks into the chilly waters of the Oswegatchie River. The adopters of the first 15 ducks to cross the gates will receive cash prizes including a $2,000 grand prize.

Ducks may be adopted the day of the race. Ducks are raced at 1 PM.

Our headlining entertainers are Troy Wunderle’s One Man Circus performing at 10 and 11:30 AM. Nashville veteran Josh Mitcham will be performing a free concert at 11 AM. Oswegatchie will also have other venues for entertainment on the property, plus the Adirondack Artisan’s Guild will be on exhibit. An ecumenical church service is also available at 9:30 in Getman Lodge.

The Oswegatchie Educational Center is owned and operated by the New York State FFA Foundation, Inc. which is a 501 (c) 3 not for profit organization.
