Thank for Your Mega Duck Dash Support!

​Let’s begin with Thank You!
 
Oswegatchie is incredibly thankful to the supporters of the Mega Duck Dash. Our “camp community” continues to be an amazing group of people that impresses us at every turn.
 
If you purchased Mega Duck Tickets, you are helping us get through the most difficult stretch we have had in 20 years. With the addition of the new dining hall, we are positioned to zoom forward when “Covid” is over.
 
If you volunteered on the Mega Duck Dash weekend, you helped us leverage our time to make the most of the rest of 2020. The next 2 months will be crucial for us to be prepared for 2021.
 
We raced 935 Mega Ducks which is the smallest amount of ducks we have raced in 25 years. With a new event, we had no idea if it would succeed or not. We are overjoyed with the success.
 
We raised $40,000, which is roughly what we raise from an average Duck Race year. Our only major expense for the event was the grand prize, and this was paid for with the first 100 ducks sold.
We had one grateful winner! Congratulations to Stephanie Rhoades for her win! If you do not know Stephanie, she is a FFA advisor and agricultural educator in Pine Plains, NY. She was a NYS FFA member, past state officer, camp staff, and is still involved.
 
2020 is demonstrating the strength of the Oswegatchie community. With every special event, camp store sale, or small group that rents an empty lodge, we see that strength every day.
 
Once again, Thank You for your Support!
 
Excelsior,
 
The Oswegatchie Staff
