The organising committee is hoping the weather will be fine this Saturday for Waipawa's annual Spring Festival Duck Day.
The band rotunda will be used for a variety of activities, with the feature entertainers the Fletcher Family.
The kids' Make a Duck competition will again be held.
This year the entries will be displayed under shelter at the Lions tent, so there is no chance of them flying off.
Tickets for the real Duck Race, where 1000 yellow plastic ducks are released to bob and swoosh down the Waipawa River, are available from Waipawa Butchery, Waipawa Fish Supply and Waipawa Pharmacy.
