Sunny the Duck Returns ahead of Sunrise Rotary’s Great Duck Race
Maya El Sheik stands alongside Sunny, a nearly two-story tall inflatable rubber duck aptly named by the Westport Sunrise Rotary. Sunny historically would be launched by volunteers and anchored in the Saugatuck River, however after several years of topples and flips - Sunny is now securely anchored to Jesup Green. The duck advertises the local club’s Great Duck Race, during which people can purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win up to $5,000. Typically each ticket number would match up to a duck that’s dumped into the Saugatuck River - the winning duck winning the prize. However due to COVID-19 precautions, the club will instead host the drawing virtually on August 6th. Tickets and more information can be found on their website, westportsunriserotary.org
