🦆 The ducks are racing today! 🦆

Get out and support our friends at Cross Timbers Rotary for the 9th Annual Rhythms at the River Walk & Duck Derby today at the Flower Mound River Walk!

Bring your friends and family out for a great afternoon of fun, food, music, activities and, of course, the amazing sight of thousands of rubber ducks racing down the River Walk! The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the big Duck Drop at 1 p.m.

Events like the Duck Derby are about so much more than having a good time. They bring our community together while supporting the nonprofits and organizations that work every day to make Denton County, and the world around us, a better place.

Span is proud to be part of such an incredible nonprofit community, and we encourage everyone to get out today, have some fun and support Cross Timbers Rotary and the many organizations they help throughout our community.

Good luck to all the ducks! 🦆💙
