(Seguin) – May the ducks land wherever they fall. The Navarro Education Foundation is changing things up in hopes of creating even more excitement for its annual Navarro Duck Fest Fundraiser. NEF President Katie Clark says after a few years of hosting the event along the waterways of Walnut Springs Park in downtown Seguin, this year’s effort will return to district grounds where instead of floating to the finish line, the ducks will be dropped from the sky. “This year is going to be super exciting. Instead of floating the ducks, we are dropping the ducks from a helicopter onto the Navarro High School football field and the closest 30 ducks to the center of the Panther will win prizes. The rubber duckies will be dropped out by either the winner of the Principal’s Challenge or a representative that is assigned. Whichever campus
adopted the most ducks wins the $3,000 Principal Challenge Grant and gets to drop the ducks out of the helicopter,” said Clark. Clark says adopting the $5 rubber ducks is easy. She says all folks have to do is go online and purchase them under the education foundation tab found on the district’s website at nisd.us. Also on that page, will be the opportunity to sign-up for another fun event scheduled that same day. “We also have a 5K this year. We are back at the high school and junior high at Navarro and we will be starting the 5K at 11 a.m. The Navarro Jazz Band will be playing. We will have the national anthem at 11 and then the 5K will kick off and it’s all on campus at Navarro and as the runners finish up and come back, we will drop those ducks from the helicopter,” said Clark.
