Their booth is located next to The Peppermill Grill. The Rotary Club will have new books for newborn aged through high school grades and beyond. Make sure to stop by and get your free book on Saturday June 6th between 9am and 5pm. You can use the bag to put all of the parades candy in as well! Be a Reading Rocks Allstar by getting your new book to enjoy over the summer break!

Get ready, Rockford… the ducks are coming. And yes—they mean business. 🐥💨

The Rockford Rotary’s Big Daddy Duck Race is back, and it’s quack-tastically competitive. Thousands of rubber ducks will take a thrilling plunge from the dam and race their way to glory at Richardson-Sowerby Park.

Want in on the action?

Adopt your very own racing duck (no training required).

Dress it up in its finest—think less “farm pond,” more “duck runway.” 2026 Theme: Disney Movies

Bribe your friends… we mean, encourage them… to vote for your duck online.

Not only could your duck earn ultimate bragging rights and a traveling trophy, but you’ll also be supporting awesome local causes like scholarships, books for kids, and community improvements.

So don’t just sit there—get your duck in a row and join the fun:
