DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Get those rubber ducky adoption papers ready, as the annual Duck Derby waddles into Decatur this weekend. 

The event will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Children's Museum of Illinois in Decatur. 

Participants can cheer on their rubber duck as it goes down a custom-built water track. The winner of the finals will waddle away with a $3,000 grand prize, and participants do not have to be present to win.

There will also be cash prizes and even new prizes awarded to second and third-place finishers. 

Additional details will be released leading up to the event.
