SUMMARY:5th Annual Duck Derby on the Wallkill River
DESCRIPTION:The Ducks are Coming! The excitement is building as Vision of Wallkill and the Wallkill Senior Celebration Committee gear up for the 5th Annual Duck Derby on the Wallkill River! \nMark your calendars for Saturday\, May 9 — festivities kick off at noon\, Birds of Prey show at 1PM and the big race splashes off at 3 PM. \nPicture this: thousands of bright yellow rubber ducks bursting into the water at Popp Memorial Park\, all racing\, bobbing\, and bumping their way toward the finish line for the title of “Fastest Duck” and a cash prize. It’s quirky\, it’s cheerful\, and it’s one of Wallkill’s most beloved traditions. Your support will help ensure the Wallkill Senior Celebration is one to remember. \nCalling All Kayakers!\nWant a front‑row seat to the action? Volunteer kayakers help guide the ducks down the river — and experienced paddlers are especially needed. If you’re ready to join the fun\, email visionofwallkill12589@yahoo.com. \nAdopt Your Ducks!\nGet in on the race by adopting your own duck contenders. Pick up Duck Derby tickets at the Wallkill Public Library and at Beck’s Hardware during regular business hours. One duck = $5.00\, a Six Quack (6 ducks) = $25.00.

SUMMARY:Walkie Talkie with Us: Historic Rondout Walking Tours - Wurts St. Hike
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson River Maritime Museum has announced Walkie Talkie with Us\, a new and novel series of educational historic strolls and more vigorous walks in the Kingston Rondout area. Led by an HRMM Educator and avid walker\, each 1 -3 mile walk will explore a different neighborhood or street in the Kingston waterfront area (Rondout)\, uncovering stories behind historic homes and buildings\, local landmarks\, and the people who shaped Rondout’s past. \nWalkie Talkie with Us is different from other walking tours that provide a walk/stop/talk format which are generally anaerobic. Walkie Talkie with Us tours maintain a gentle yet continuous pace which are more aerobic\, with the Educator turning\, walking and talking\, to share stories and local historical musings with the group. Two routes will be offered on a rotating monthly basis\, including a less strenuous “stroll” and a more rigorous “hike\,” which will include the steep incline of Wurts Street. Routes will be chosen for walkability and seating opportunities\, ensuring comfort and inclusion for all participants.
