Duck Derby to Benefit the Youth Emergency Shelter and Services of Iowa on May 5th

 

 I haven't done this before, but I think our family will be doing this event this year. The event is completely free family fun, but if you want a duck in the derby, it costs you a $5 donation. The good news is that the donation goes to a great cause: YESS (Youth Emergency Shelter and Services of Iowa). This organization helps kids and families when they are in times of  uncertainty or crisis. They take kids in on a short term basis and work with kids and parents to work through the crisis. I have known several families to use this service and it has helped them when they needed it most. So, if you are looking to donate, there is plenty of time to buy your ducks (and you could win amazing prizes if your duck is a lucky duck and wins!). But if you simply want good family fun on a wonderful May afternoon, come on our to Jordan Creek on May 5th for inflatables, balloon animals, crafts, food, etc. See you there!
