The Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra co-sponsored the Learn to Read of St. Johns County annual Rubber Ducky Regatta at Splash Park’s Lazy River in Nocatee on Sunday, Nov. 4.
Rotary members and their family cheered on their yellow rubber duckies as they glided around the lazy river. Prizes were awarded to the first 45 winners, including the donor whose duck crossed the finish line in last place. This fun, family event raised $7,000 for Learn to Read.
