    GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – The 20th annual Reedy River Duck Derby was held Saturday at Falls Park.

    14,000 ducks were sent racing down the waterfall benefiting the Rotary Club of the Reedy River Greenville.

    This year’s event honored the memory of one other club’s founding members.

    7NEWS Anchor Gordon Dill was there to call the race.

    Attendees also enjoyed live music, face painting, balloon twisting, and food trucks.

    “This is actually my girlfriend’s idea to put this on my head, but also I am a North Carolina fan so I tried to put it together so everyone is Duck and North Carolina so it was kind of a dad joke,” Jordan Brandhal said.

    For those who adopted the ducks, winning prizes included a million dollars, a year of groceries, and $2,5000 cash from the Rotary Club.
