Bill Smith, Adirondack Storyteller  11 AM

Adirondack Storyteller Bill Smith
Bill Smith is widely known throughout the Adirondacks and beyond as a master of various traditional arts of the region.  He performs for a variety of audiences with a wide repertoire of stories and songs about local life.  He has been written about in numerous articles and books and has produced a series of recordings of his stories and songs. Bill Smith has been a cornerstone of the Adiron-Duck Race for 17 years. Mr. Smith performs at 11 AM in Getman Lodge. Mr. Smith performs In Memory of John Hirschey, who was an event sponsor for many years. This show continues to be sponsored by the family of Mr. Hirschey. 

Wunderle Big Top Circus Show 10 AM

Troy Wunderle
Wunderle's One Man Circus has been wowing the crowds at our duck race since 2009! His high energy and engaging excitement keeps both parents and kids on the edge of their seat! Mr. Wunderle performs in our Pavilion at 10 AM. Learn more about Mr. Wunderle at www.smirkus.org. He is also the Director of Clowning at  Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. 



Ecumenical Church Services with Ray Lighthall 9:30 AM

Ray Lighthall
Ray Lighthall is legendary at Oswegatchie from his years as the Ag Educator at Stockbridge Valley Central School. In his retirement, he has spent his time as a methodist pastor in Madison and Bouckville, NY. Ray's perspective on life and living is very evident in his approach to ministering. If you still want to fit in a church service on Duck Race Sunday and want to leave with a big smile, this will be perfect. Ray is in Getman Lodge starting at 9:30 AM. We receive many comments each year that this is the hidden gem of the duck race experience.

Oswegatchie Tractor Ride!
Oswegatchie is a big place! We will have canoe and kayak paddling, climbing on our ropes tower, and summer camp tours to show you all we can do. These opportunities will be made available during the 9 AM till 12 Noon.

We are looking for more entertainers!

Roger Dicob
Oswegatchie offers the opportunity to any acoustic musicians who would like to volunteer to play the day of the race. We would enjoy having more music played around the property the day of the event. Some sort of audition of screening is required, so if you have an online video or track to send, email it to info@oswegatchie.org !
