A NUMBER OF brightly decorated ducks have taken up residence across Evesham as Rotary in the Vale’s annual summer scavenger hunt gets under way today.
The free family-friendly trail which launches at Tesco Evesham between 9am and 12pm, invites residents and visitors to explore the town in search of 30 large ducks hidden at participating businesses and organisations.
Participants can collect a trail map from any of the participating venues before setting off around the town to find each duck and collect a stamp at every stop.
Those who complete the trail by collecting all 30 stamps will receive a small prize and should bring their completed entry card to this year’s Duck Race at Hampton Ferry on August 15 at 4pm.
Among the businesses and organisations taking part are Chadbury Farm Shop, Magpie on High Street and the Almonry Gift Shop in Merstow Green.
Rotary president George Lack said: “We hope to see lots of families and children out and about around Evesham over the next four weeks and get their cards stamped.
“We look forward to meeting them all at this year’s duck race.”
The annual trail forms part of Rotary in the Vale’s summer fundraising activities and offers families a fun way to explore Evesham while supporting the community event.
