Princeton Plans to ‘Quack’ a World Record

SOMETHING UNIQUE AT THIS YEAR'S RUM RIVER FESTIVAL!

Princeton is revving up for the Rum River Festival, their big summer celebration. This year, they are hoping everyone from Princeton comes out for some Minnesota fun. They are planning on 'Quacking' the world record for playing 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck'! Check out the FB post by clicking HERE.

The event is going to be held on Saturday, June 7th, and they need 2200 people to participate to break the record. Wouldn't it be great if we just CRUSHED the record? It would be great to see 5,000 people show up for this fun event.

FUN FOR EVERYONE!

Registration for the event is FREE. Can you imagine how fun this would be for grade-schoolers? Grab the family and have some fun together, and show the world what can be accomplished when you all focus on one super fun goal.

The event is going to be held at the Princeton High School Track. A $1 free will donation is being recommended. The event is open to ages 2 and older.

HELP BREAK THE RECORDS

There are two records that Princeton wants to break this year. First, not everyone knows that 'Duck Duck GRAY Duck' is the right way to play; however the current record for the largest game of 'Duck Duck Goose' had 2,135 participants and lasted for 15 minutes and 55 seconds. The event was held at a high school in Rogersville, Missouri on October 7th of 2011.

HOW TO PLAY

The current record for the largest game of 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck' was set in Shakopee in 2019 and was made with 108 people. 108 people!

Princeton is hoping that area residents will come and make this event successful. You can event get a T-Shirt for game day. T's are $10 in advance for pick up the day of the event, $25 if you purchase them the day of, and you will be able to get them for $30 if there are any left, after the event. (If you need a size 2XL or larger, there is an additional $2 charge).

If you cannot participate but still want to be a part of the fun, there will be bleachers set up for everyone to watch the festivities.
