The Rubber Duck Regatta swim kicks off today!

Posted: Updated:

The 18th annual Rubber Duck Regatta "swims" into Cincinnati today to benefit the Freestore Foodbank!

150,000 rubber ducks will race down the Ohio River at 3:00 p.m.  before the Cincinnati Bell/WEBN fireworks kick off.

The owner of the first duck to cross the finish line will win a 2012 Honda Civic LX Sedan and possibly $1 million if their duck is the "Million Dollar duck"! Second place will be rewarded with a year's worth of groceries from Kroger, and the remaining five runners-up will win $500 cash!

Ducks can be purchased for $5.00 each or $25.00 for six until 2:30 p.m. today at www.rubberduckregatta.org, by phone at (513)-929-3825, or at the P&G Riverfest on both sides of the river!
