Fakenham Corporate Duck Race 2022
Fakenham Corporate Duck Racesponsored by local businessesSunday 19th June 2022
Join us for the Giant Duck Race
Active Fakenham, in partnership the Fakenham and District Rotary Club, is thrilled to be putting on this event. Join us to watch these ducks.
Why your business should join in
We hope your business decides to support this community project. We will aim to make the event as much fun as possible and encourage participation and attendance. We will also help promote your duck (and therefore your business). Any money raised will go towards community events in Fakenham and a contribution is also being made to Fakenham First Focus.
We will aim to do this by:
• listing entries on our website
• posting on social media (we do Facebook, Instagram and Twitter)
• distributing press and media releases
• the event will be photographed and filmed (tbc) and these will be available to you as well as shared on social media and websites - we will arrange a photo shoot at the Bridge in Goggs Mill Road at Goggs Mill Bridge prior to the event. This will go in the local paper.
Winners prizes include
1. First Prize TBC
2. A bottle of Champagne
