Duckee Derbee benefits animals in Truckee-Tahoe

The Truckee River flow is not going to stop the 12th annual Truckee Duckee Derbee.

This fundraiser for the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe is June 7 from 1-4pm at the River Ranch Lodge.

It is billed as the “most unpredictable two minutes in Tahoe.”

The afternoon’s festivities will include live music by the Serina Dawn Duo, an outdoor barbecue, drink specials, a raffle and a silent auction, Dogz in Dudz canine costume contest, and a Cool Catz in Hatz contest in which human contestants don crazy animal themed head gear. A new event, Chuck a Duck, will pit participants against each other to hit a target with a rubber duck for a cash prize.

Registration and pre-race party festivities begin at 1pm.

To buy a duck or for more information, go online or call 530.587.5948.
