During the event, there are various craft and food stands, live bands, and speedboat races. One event of note is the rubber duck race. In the weeks prior to Whaling Days, anyone can sign up to reserve a rubber duck for the race. When the ducks are released, they float towards the finish line, or wherever the current takes them. Whoever reserved the duck who gets past the finish line first wins a prize, usually a new truck. External links
