For those who have never experienced a Canaligator Race before, the event involves dumping over 1,000 little green canaligators off the Union Street Bridge into the Erie Canal to see which make it to the finish line first…and last. Finish fast or float in last- You could win a prize! Each one of the little green canaligators has a number on his tummy and if your number is called, you are a winner!
Proceeds from this year’s race will be donated to Spencerport Community organizations and programs.
