9th Annual PaDucky Derby

Adopt a duck at the 2023 AQS QuiltWeek to benefit survivors of domestic violence!

You can adopt a duck to put in the race for just $5, and the fastest three ducks will win their adoptive parents cash prizes! You don’t need to be present to win. Merryman House will hold a special adoption pre-sale for quilters at AQS QuiltWeek, so be sure to stop by the PaDucky Derby booth in the Atrium of Carroll Convention Center to adopt your ducks!

The proceeds of the race will benefit Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center, which saves, builds, and changes the lives of men, women, and children affected by domestic violence in Kentucky’s Purchase Region. You can learn more about the Merryman House at merrymanhouse.org.
