Every year at the Fenton 4th of July Freedom Festival just after the parade, the Fenton Rotary holds the Rubber Ducky Regatta. This annual fundraiser for the community civic group has remained a fun highlight of Fenton’s annual celebration. See the rubber duckies start their dash to the cash with their race down the river by first falling over the Fenton millpond waterfall.
