The August 6th Dam Ducky Derby in Evergreen was a very successful event for the Evergreen Downtown Business Association and for our mobile Evergreen Nature Center! The Elk Antler Ring Toss and the Pelt Matching Game were popular activities, and we had the opportunity to share information about Evergreen Audubon, the Evergreen Nature Center, and all of our programs with more than 200 adults and with 200 plus kids.

Evergreen Audubon sold 428 ducks, and we hope that at least one of them was a winner!  Thank you to all who used our code “BIRD” when purchasing your ducks.  Your support of Evergreen Audubon and the Evergreen Nature Center is greatly appreciated!
