Come say hey during Sunday's great duck race in Forestville

I'll be at the Forestville duck race on Sunday with Youth Journalism International and some of its kids. We'll have a table near the driveway into Nuchies, where you can even get a free duck tattoo, always a hit with little ones. We're not selling anything so it's safe to come on by (though we're happy to accept tax-deductible contributions to YJI if you're in the mood).

Be sure to say hey at the duck race on Sunday

I'll be manning the table for The Tattoo and Youth Journalism International at the Forestville Duck Race on Sunday. I believe we'll be on the sidewalk in front of Nuchies. Anyway, come say hello.

We'll be giving away duck tattoos -- of course -- and if you ask nicely, our famed cartoonist Justin Skaradosky may be willing to sign some of his work for you.

Don't miss today's duck race

The weather today is just ducky for the annual duck race in Forestville.

The hoopla begins at noon, with the ducks entering the river at 2 p.m. With the river running high, it will likely prove a pretty short race.

Head on over to Forestville Center and join in a fun community event (but be aware that the bridge is closed and normal traffic patterns disrupted). Handicapped parking is at Ultimate Wireforms on Central Street. Most people park in one of the church or town lots nearby.

Be sure to stop by and say hey to The Tattoo and Youth Journalism Internation at the little booth next to Nuchie's. Make it a point to tell skilled cartoonist Justin Skaradosky to keep up the good work.

You can even support the good work of these young writers by making a donation or buying a baseball cap, magnet, or a postcard featuring one of Justin's cartoons (have him sign it!).

You can always check out The Tattoo online at www.ReadTheTattoo.com. Youth Journalism International is available at www.YouthJournalism.org.
