DELEGATE Public School is holding its annual Good Friday charity duck race once again and is seeking people who want to try their luck ... on a duck!

The school's Year Six kids are urging members of the public to join the school and local community at Delegate River on Good Friday for all the fun of the fair, and duck races, to help raise money for the annual end of year Year five-six excursion "to a mystery location".

One hundred ducks are up for grabs for $10 each, with three races to be held.

Of course, given the ducks will be "let go" at the popular swimming hole at Bill Jeffreys Park on the river and then will float downstream at the ebb and will of the tide, the wind and the riverbank, no talent for duck racing is required.

"It is all about luck," Year Six student Georgie Jeffreys, great granddaughter of Bill Jeffreys for whom the park was named, warned.

"You can't control them, they just float along and you hope they don't get caught in the reeds."

This will be the seventh year Georgie has "competed" in the duck race and she said she was excited about it even though she has never won a prize.

Classmate Mason Brooks, is also looking forward to the day, saying "the intensity" made it exciting. He has never won a prize either.

School employee and wife of principal Brad, Louise Bannister, was a lucky winner last year. "The prizemoney is pretty good," she said. "But really it is about the fun of the day and helping the school raise money for the kids' excursion."

The Delegate Public School Good Friday Duck Race began more than 10 years when then P and C president Su King came up with the idea as a fundraiser and a fun thing to do at Easter.

Mrs Bannister said more than 100 people attended the 2023 event and she hoped to see even more this year.

"There will be cash prizes for first, second and third in each of the three races and people can buy as many ducks as they wish by contacting the school or the Delegate cafe," she said.

"We also have a wood raffle and sell novelties and run a bottle toss and various other things on the day which adds to the fun. There will be a car club there as well."

Delegate Public School has 27 students in two classes. Most children travel to Bombala for high school once they graduate from Year Six.

Meanwhile, Delegate Progress Association will continue the Easter celebrations under its Out and About in Delegate program, with Serendipitous Stalls outside the Old Delegate Post Office on Easter Saturday from 10.30am-12.30pm, offering Devonshire teas and 10 per cent off shop items.

The Delegate School of Arts will be open from 10am-4pm, with the museum open, Discover Delegate videos playing in the hall and the Early Settlers Hut will be open all day.

All are welcome to attend a working bee at the Cob Oven Bill Jeffreys Park from 5.30pm followed by a sausage sizzle and Easter egg hunt. BYO drinks and salads.

Members of the public have also been invited to attend a traditional bush breakfast of damper and billy team from 11am at the Early Settlers Hut that has been organised for a visiting four wheel drive club. Cost is $10 per person, payable on arrival.
