What? The duck race?

Home » Colorado Ski Resort News » Breckenridge » What? The duck race?

August 31, 2018 by Kevin W

Are you going to be in Summit County this labor day weekend?  Welp, if so then here is the perfect way to spend your first afternoon in September.  Dig through your pockets and see if you can find some loose 1 dollar bills.  5 of em’ gets you your own special ducky friend who has the ability to race down the Blue River and win you 1500 dollars cash!  What? The duck race?  Yes!! A full blown rubber duck race…with lots of cash up for grabs.  The races start at 1 pm, beginning with the children’s duck race, the business races at 2 pm, and then the great rubber duck race at 3 pm.

The race will begin at the blue river plaza right on Main Street.  In the plaza will be a kids zone, some live art, and some fresh BBQ out on the lawn!  Have some fun and fill your stomach before the blue river turns yellow, filled with rubber ducks. No matter what age you are a river filled with toy ducks It truly is a sight to see.  Come out and be a kid for the day!  With a chance at $1500 why wouldn’t you?!  Be sure to check out Breckenridge Grand Vacations for all your rooming needs . . after all they are the ones who are helping to put on this wonderful event.

If you’d like to enter the race go follow the link and adopt your ducky today!   Bert and Ernie look they are prepped and ready for this Saturday’s race too.  Competition seems to be heating up this year.

Good luck out there and happy September to you all.  The leaves are already changing so don’t forget to get outside and enjoy the beautiful, yet brief, fall season!!

The exceptional personal service provided by everyone in your company from the online chat, phone calls with customer service agent, drivers and representative at the airport, arriving for pick up at the EXACT time, sending text message reminders… Your company excels at everything a customer wants and needs. The bottom line is that you provide a personal experience, in the future we will only use your company.

The communication was top notch, which included a reminder text the day before, a phone call from the driver, and this follow up thank you email. In addition, any time I called the office everyone was very courteous & friendly. I’ll definitely be recommending your company to others & I will use it again as well. Thanks so much for the top rate service!

I want to thank you for your excellent services yesterday in particularly lousy weather. Your team called me on Saturday to alert me to impending weather concerns and the fact that I might have troubles making my flight home Sunday. The dispatcher put me on an earlier than planned shuttle and got me to the airport on time. The trip from FTC to DIA took four hours and your driver Dave did a nice job. I will use your service again and I will recommended it to others. The bottled water was appreciated as well.

Frank is a great driver, very friendly and chatty and made the end of our trip a happy time rather than a sad ride to the airport and back to reality.

We booked a trip to Colorado, and being Florida natives and not used to driving in the snow, we wanted to shuttle from Denver Airport to Copper Mountain Resort. A friend recommended Summit Express. The driver (Christopher) picked us up at the scheduled time, was extremely friendly and helpful. He talked with me the entire 2 hour ride to Copper Mountain and gave me lots of local information and tips that were very helpful during our stay.

The return trip was just as accommodating. I didn’t get our drivers name, but he was friendly and helpful with our baggage and airport transfer. Overall, we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service. I strongly recommend using this express if you’re not familiar with the area and terrain.

From now on, these guys are my new shuttle service when travel around Colorado. We had a mishap with our luggage while on our way to Breckenridge.  When we realized it, United Airlines called me and explained to me that I had to go back to the airport. Scott, from Summit immediately asked me if he could speak to the rep.

Long story short, Scott tried to explain to the rep that they can go back to the airport and pick up our luggage…they’ve done it before for customers in the past.  Unfortunately, United couldn’t give us a straight answer, so my friend and I had to make the 2 hour drive back to Denver.

Either way, Summit and Scott were amazing. They gave us a great rate to go back to the airport and back to Breckenridge.

Go with Summit if you plan to make trips around Colorado. I highly recommend them.

Fast, comfortable and the driver was wonderful. I left my wallet in the van by accident and he brought it to my condo immediately without me even calling.
