Gather at 9:00 AM
Neighborhood Church, 2802 Bridgeport Way West, Univ. Place
University Place Duck Daze Parade. Every year on the first Saturday in June the University Place community gets together for the annual Duck Daze celebration. The event began about 18 years ago when TCC member Dixie Harris and Terry Reim, founders of the University Place Farmers Market, felt that they needed an event to celebrate the end of the rainy season, as well as, the wonderful improvements to Bridgeport Way. The yellow duck was adopted as the symbol of the parade and is now a community mascot.  
Download the Duck Daze Flyer... (coming later, please check back...)

This is an important and fun event and one that everyone should plan to attend. We will be taking City Council members along for the ride.

TCC is the only corvette club invited to participate.

 Feel free to decorate your vette with a duck theme.
