Warren hosting 1st River Duck Festival this weekend
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Rubber duckies will be racing down the Mahoning River on Saturday as part of the first River Duck Festival in Warren.
The Warren Rotary Club is hosting the event in place of its Slice of the Valley fundraiser, which has been retired.
The festival gates will open at 11 a.m. Saturday at Perkins Park. There will be music, vendors, raffles, a Jeep competition and duck adoptions ahead of the big race at 3 p.m., weather permitting.
'We thought what could be best for promoting Warren City, promoting the river that's opening up for recreational use now and everything. So this is why we wanted to bring it into the city and a River Duck Festival can bring all ages out,' said Cindy Matheson, president of the Warren Rotary Club.
Admission to the event is free.
All other proceeds raised will go back to the community.

Singer, 27, Reveals How a Heavy Metal Icon Taught Him To Be a ‘Rock Star'
If you need advice on how to make it in rock and roll, there's no one better to ask than Ozzy Osbourne. Osbourne, 76, became one of the voices synonymous with heavy metal in the 1970s as the singer of Black Sabbath, delivering classic songs like "Iron Man," "War Pigs," and "Paranoid." And after the band fired him, Osbourne refused to say die, launching a solo career that gave us "No More Tears," "Crazy Train," "Bark at the Moon," and "Mama, I'm Coming Home." And Ozzy isn't afraid to help out the younger generation of rockers, which is why he ended up in a Yungblud music video. Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) asked Kelly Osbourne to be in the video for "The Funeral," the lead single for his self-titled third album. "I've known her for years, I met her in a pub on the circuit, on a mad night out - but she couldn't be there as she was on tour," the 27-year-old rocker told Louder. "And she was, like, 'My mum and dad will come.'" Not only did Ozzy and Sharon Osbourneshow up (they run over Yungblud in a car during the video), but they hung out with the rocker afterwards. "And he was like, 'You remind me a lot of me: you're mad and you're crazy and just lead with your [explicative] spirit,'" said Yungblud. Though their music is different, Yungblud said that people compare him to Ozzy because they both have an "unfiltered" attitude. "If you can be completely truthful, people aren't going to get it, and then they're gonna get it." Yungblud then said what Ozzy said next "hit me like a ton of bricks." "He said, 'You don't want to live your life censoring it, or don't be a rock star'. [Ozzy] said, 'You get this opportunity because you are not afraid to say the things other people will be. So when you stop [explicative] doing that, you ain't a rock star anymore'." Ozzy passed down his knowledge because he's about to call it a career. On July 5, he will perform his last solo show before reuniting with Black Sabbath for the heavy metal pioneer's final performance. And don't be sad-Ozzy said he's ready to give up the "rock star lifestyle." Related: Legendary Singer Says He's Done With the 'Rock Star Lifestyle' Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.
