HOLD September 10 for Battle of plattsburgh festivities

Two signature events, The Bed Race and the Roducky Derby are quickly approaching. Please mark your calendar for Sept. 10 to lend a hand during these fun-filled Battle of Plattsburgh events.

Roducky sales continue to waddle along with a new sale location at Downtown Rising on Friday. We will be selling ducks at the mall on Saturday, 9/3 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please consider helping out.
The Bed Race Committee would like sponsors to consider creating their own team to run the race this year rather than relying on the college students. Team members could be your employees, children, friends, etc. - get out there and have fun!

Kit Booth is recruiting parade marshals - please see him to sign up.
