LAST MINUTE VENUE CHANGE!!  Sorry for the late notice

We have had to change our drop spot to the Julia St Park in Summerland.

AND… due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be dropping the ducks, but will be doing a good, old-fashioned raffle draw of the tickets that were purchased.

Draw time is still Noon, August 15th.  We will try to Live-Feed the draw on our Facebook page – search up South Okanagan Kin Club ( https://www.facebook.com/www.sokin.ca )

Good Luck to everyone who purchased a ticket!!  Winners will be notified directly after the draw.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we have had to postpone our event. New date is confirmed: August 15, 2020 @ Gyro Park in Penticton.  All tickets sold with the May 2nd date will be eligible to win!

If for some reason we are not able to hold a public event on August 15th due to ongoing physical distancing requirements, we will hold a live-streamed draw rather than a duck drop.

Thank you to all those who bought tickets for the 2019 Kin Duck Drop. Almost $14,000 was raised and donated to local youth groups and the Penticton Regional Hospital as a result of your generousity.

The ducks dropped today in Penticton’s Gyro Park.  Around 150 people were on hand to watch the ducks drop from the MacVicar Signs bucket truck.  This year was a new format for the event, and we definitely learned alot to make next year’s drop even better.

Here are the winners!

1st Prize – Rob Cocar, sold by Kelowna U16B Fastball

2nd Prize – Rod Elder, sold by Kelowna U19B Fastball

3rd Prize – Rae Hussell, sold by Summerland U10 Softball

Over $17,000 was raised, benefitting local youth groups and the Pediatric Ward of the Penticton Regional Hospital.  Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket or attended the drop.  And a huge shout out to WestJet and MacVicar Signs!

The Ducks will be flying on May 5th at Gyro Park in Penticton!  Make sure you get your ticket soon – still only $5, with proceeds benefiting local youth groups.

GRAND PRIZE!  WestJet Package. Round -Trip airfare for 2 anywhere WestJet flies, plus $500 travel cash

2nd Prize – $1000

3rd Prize – $500

This year we are changing the look of our Rubber Duck event.  Instead of a race down the Penticton Channel, we will be having a ‘DROP’ at Gyro Park in Penticton.

Recent storms and increased spring run-off made the current condition of the Penticton Channel unsafe for ‘Duck Retrieval’. We could not take the chance of any of our volunteers or members being injured or swept-away, so we chose not to do the duck drop. Instead we entered all the sold duck numbers in a bucket and had an ‘old-fashioned’ raffle!
Congratulations to our winners and thank you again to Gateway Casinos and Entertainment (Cascades Casino Penticton), the Penticton Indian Band, all the youth groups who participated in selling tickets and everyone who bought a ticket.
Over $11,000 was donated back into our local communities from this event.
