2:00 PM: The fun starts at the picnic area at the playground in Cabin John Local Park. We will grill hot dogs/hamburgers and vegetarian products plus pizza and provide non-alcoholic drinks. You can hang out there, enjoy refreshments, get info on the county’s RainScapes program, and get a quick lesson in identifying the native plants and animals that are part of a healthy watershed.
3:00PM: We’ll go down to the creek and release the Duckies to race their way down the creek overcoming turbulence and various obstacles along the way. Cool prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers and to the very last Duck.
