Gather at
27th & Bridgeport Way at 9:00 AM
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 12 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.  

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.
