Kelly Lewis, owner of State Farm Insurance on Main Street in Brockport, won the "King for a Day" prize at last year's event. "I have two boys, and we really enjoyed the pizza and McDonald's coupons, Red Wings and Rhinos games and all the great family entertainment certificates in the package. As a community member and a business owner, I was thrilled to know that the ticket sales benefit the hospital, where my boys were born, as well as BISCO," stated Lewis. She was so impressed with the event, she now serves on the Duck Derby Planning Committee.

Duck tickets are on sale at Lakeside Foundation or through any service club member. Tickets will be on sale during the Brockport Summer Arts Festival. Call 395-6049 for information or tickets.
