It's a race to the finish in College Station Saturday night with hundreds of duckies..

It was the Children's Museum of the Brazos Valley's annual Great Texas Rubber Ducky Derby.

Thousands of people were at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater for the event and to see the band Texas Twisters at the Starlight Music Series.

The buyer of the first place duck received a $1,000 gift card, second place $500 and third a $250 card.
