“We’re very excited to be part of Noblesville Main Street’s Race weekend!” said Abigail Stutesman, Director of Club Operations for the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville. “The community’s ever-growing support of its youth is always inspiring.”
The Noblesville Main Street Duck Race, presented by the Gordon Family of Companies, and Noblesville Schools Education Foundation’s (NSEF) first-ever Amazing Miller Race will both be on June 3.
Duck Race participants can purchase one of 2,500 rubber ducks getting dumped off the Nickel Plate Express train from the Logan Street Bridge for a chance to win up to $1,000. The event, presented by the Gordon Family of Companies, will offer live music from local bands alongside festival activities, like a dunk tank full of Noblesville’s most prominent figures, from noon to 3 p.m.
