Students collect pledges for each hour they carry out an activity.
Each duck races down the mighty Red River the last day of a local festival. Once the ducks are adopted, the Super Derby festival starts. Also included are cheerleading competitions, a chili cookoff, crafts for kids, etc. The ducks are funneled into the finish line by Styrofoam buoys and then the first five picked out of the water are the winners. Student groups prepare acts to lip synch to recorded music.
