Woodward Township, Clinton County-

From duck derbies to cardboard boat races, a river festival in Clinton County promises to be a blast this weekend.

Riverfest Co-Chair Marie Selfe said, “It’s going to be a great time for everybody!”

For the 14th year in a row, the Woodward Township Riverfest promises to put smiles on the faces of young and old alike.

Tons of food, games, crafts, and live music are set to entertain everyone who shows up.

Township Supervisor James Bressi noted, “We have a lot of people over here that are really dedicated to what they’re doing and they really get involved with Riverfest.”

All the money raised at Riverfest is re-invested in local recreation opportunities within the community.

New this year will be a cardboard boat race on the river. 32 entrants are already signed up.

Selfe explained, “It ranges from kids clear to adults, senior citizens, and it’ll be a great time.”

And don’t forget to snag your favorite quacker for the annual Duck Derby.

Selfe added, “(You’ll) have a chance to win a grand prize of $1000, and we have 100 other prizes that businesses have donated.”

There’s no charge to get into Riverfest and it all caps off with a gigantic fireworks display Saturday night. Organizers here hope everyone comes out for the party.

Bressi laughed, “Have a good time and spend lots of money!”

Woodward Township’s Riverfest is located just across the Susquehanna River from Lock Haven.

All the action kicks off Thursday at 5 and runs through Saturday night.
