Duck Competition in Hamminkeln: Grand Prize of 500 Euros for the Victory - Detailed Information Provided
Get ready for some feathery fun in Hamminkeln, folks! This Sunday, watch as 1,500 "race ducks" splash their way through the Issel in the Lions Club's annual Hamminkelner Duck Race. Part of the Marienthaler Summer "Strawberry Meets Duck" festival, the event kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Issel behind the Marienthaler Gasthof, Pfarrer-Winkelmann-Straße 2.
If you're looking to be crowned the fastest duck racer, entries are just a fiver! Grab your participation cards at the listed advance sale points, each ticket featuring your unique duck's starting number. The race route may shift due to water levels and flow speeds, but rest assured, the Issel bridge will be either the starting or finishing line. And don't fret if you can't make it on the day - winners can check the Lions Club Hamminkeln website (www.lions.de/hamminkeln) to see if "their" duck has taken the top prize.
It's not just about the race, though. Over at the Marienthal market square and nearby shops, a colorful family-friendly program awaits on both Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Don't miss fresh strawberries, homemade goodies, local crafts, and regional specialties. Remember, those starting cards will still be available at the Lions Club stand during the summer festivities, too!
While the history of this Quacktacular event is unknown, it's become a nearly-traditional affair in the lively town of Hamminkeln, known for its vibrant cultural events. If you're keen on unearthing more, consider reaching out to local historical societies, community centers, or online forums for insights into Hamminkeln's past events.
