LANSING, Mich. — Williamston Sunrise Rotary will host 2020 Rotary Duck Safari in August. The Safari is a FUN-raising non-fundraising scavenger event. Intended to be a stressbuster, Rotarians are bringing the community together in a responsible, fun adventure with the media support of Fox47news.
The Safari will run from August 1 -14, 2020 leading participants throughout the Williamston area in search of ROTARY DUCKS. Safari clues and Rotary Ducks are strategically designed to reference historical QR code markers developed by Williamston Depot Museum to showcase local businesses and historic sites. Contestants will have 14 days to enjoy finding these sites and posting an on location selfie picture/video of themselves wearing official Rotary Duck Safari T-Shirts. Winners will be announced and receive gift certificates for goods and services from local businesses on August 15.
All individuals or teams must fill out a “Duck Bill” registration form to participate in the Safari. Registration is open July 12- August 9. Online registration is available at http://www.williamstonrotary.org/ In-person registration is available at The Studio Shop, 138 E. Grand River. Tues-Sat 10-6, or the Rotary booth at Eastern Ingham Farmers Market - corner of High and Putnam on Sundays from 10-2.
While it's not all about winning, Rotarians are purchasing gift certificates from local businesses and will award them on August 15 for several “best of” criteria including cutest or goofiest photo, or participants who make the best duck calls, create the best duck dance, and many more criteria. Participants vying for awards will also have to purchase Official Rotary Duck Safari T-Shirt(s). The official shirt must be worn by team members when submitting “evidence” of solving the clue and finding a Rotary Duck. Teams vying for awards will post their selfie/picture/video with the found Rotary Duck online to Fox47news.com so that Rotary judges can review the evidence and announce the awards.
As always, Rotary will invest 100% of monies raised back into the community. A list of Rotary supported local projects is atwww.williamstonrotary.org. This year the Rotary Duck Safari replaces the traditional Annual Jubilee Rotary Duck Race with a way to thank and showcase local businesses whose generous support has sustained Rotary’s action and service to the community.
