You do realize people by the ducks for charity and can win a prize if your duck wins. The firedeparment uses their hose to guide the ducks and then they get picked up.
People pay $5 per duck, they add their names and info on the bottom of the ducks. The first duck that reaches the finish line wins like $500. It’s a charity event to benefit the Special Olympics. So now you know……
The Chicago Ducky Derby is a signature fundraising event for Special Olympics Illinois. Each year, more than 65,000 rubber ducks splash down and race to the finish line.

This is a charity event. The ducks are retrieved and reused next year. Many towns use this as a way of raising money for local charities. More exciting than Bingo or raffle tickets.
World hunger, 3rd world poverty, sex trafficking are also a problem but your ass aint doing shit about it. This is also a charity event that the city has nothing to do with so I don't know how you think the imaginary money the government didn't spent could be used to fight crime.
@@Maggot00679 oh, please, you act like cities can't have festivals are celebrations, just because it costs money, I bet you're having fun in your gray state also the charities are for this specific event, not charities used for other means, I can't tell if you can't actually think, or you're deliberately acting like you're stupid
Chicago in a nutshell. The south and west sides (as well as the loop now) are a shooting gallery, and these mopes are racing rubber duckies down the river.
Its an annual fundraiser for the Illinois Special Olympics. The firefighters volunteers from the Lake Boat Fleet. The ducks are $5 for one or $25 for 6. The ducks are not rubber, they are made of a biodegradable material, so any not scooped out, just join the sludge. Not one dollar of tax payers money goes into the Duck Derby. Police presence at the scene are 60% volenteers. Its an honor to be apart of such a worth while fund raiser.
It’s a duck race to raise money for charity people! You give $5 for a duck with a number on it. If your duck wins, you get some money just like a raffle works. All the ducks are picked up and used again next year. It’s for a good cause, stop with the negative comments please. Chicago doesn’t do a whole lot for it’s residents but this is one of the good things left. Signed, a Chicago resident for over 50 years.
There was 14 homicides and 40 boxes of 😅 doughnuts consumed by Chicago PD sitting at local area donut shops while filming the duck Derby! Priorities matter!
At least the rubber duckies are short enough to not have to bend over if they drop the soap because I hear it’s hard to hold onto it when their wings are wet.
We used to do this in our little town...it was fun for all ages...some ducks had corresponding numbers for prizes,some for charities... people would come dressed as ducks, some ducks had cheerleaders...🐥🦆🐤
The 413th drowned because it was smack in the center & the first one to drop. The other ducks were unable to revive it. Funeral proceedings will not proceed because a huge fish grabbed it & didn't even say thank you
You moved because of rubber ducks and not all the crime happening? I know you said 'reasons' but I think crime would be the main reason 😂, not rubber ducks.

Wow 👌 a crowd of people watching 👀 ducks dumped into the river. One wonders why chicago is beyond saving.
It's not hard to see how Chicago became what it is.
All those ducks and not one damn black duck. I hope Daffy Duck sues them for Duckscrimination
😂
Yeah, no white ducks either
The black ducks don't know how to swim.
Yes this is definitely what the city should focus on. Rubber ducks, they can handle that.
Excellent, now they deliberately dumped plastic in the water way! … real men of genius!…

Only half of the ducks made it to the finish line. The rest went to go shop lifting at the local Walmart😢

Beautiful truck, hope by the time I retire I can ride one
Isn't there like.. a littering fee? 1200? 6months to a year? Lol is this legal
FIX YOUR CRIME FIRST!!
The ducks hitting other ducks instead of water:
They're rubber. You think they're transporting 2000lbs of real ducks in a truck? They'd be dead before they're dumped.
I have to admit I was horrified at first, thought they was pouring real ducklings off of the bridge
Even if they were real the ducks would still have a better chance of not dying then the actual people watching.
That's what I thought also.
Which one won ?
Each duck represents the amount of bullets sprayed last weekend on the Southside.
That's culturally insensitive....
Everyone in attendance was eventually mugged at gunpoint.
When do we learn?
One of the many reasons why I moved to another state.
Makes sense
You moved because of rubber ducks and not all the crime happening? I know you said 'reasons' but I think crime would be the main reason 😂, not rubber ducks.
