Pottstown Rotary Duck Returns for Independence Day Parade

One of the Pottstown Fourth of July Parade's most recognizable traditions made its annual appearance as the Pottstown Rotary Club's iconic duck rolled through downtown during this year's celebration.

The larger-than-life duck once again drew smiles from paradegoers as it returned for the community's Independence Day festivities, adding to the festive atmosphere of the annual event.

Rotary members also reflected on the strong sense of community throughout the celebration, describing the parade as a memorable gathering filled with reunions, patriotic spirit, and enthusiastic crowds as Pottstown joined communities across the country in celebrating America's 250th anniversary.

The Pottstown Rotary Club's beloved duck continues to be a favorite part of the annual Independence Day parade, helping bring smiles to spectators while celebrating community pride and patriotism.

Visitors can also attend free workshops and seminars covering topics such as building model railroads, using digital command control systems, and creating realistic scenery and layouts.

Designed for hobbyists, collectors, families, and newcomers alike, the event also includes interactive exhibits for children and, at many shows, opportunities for kids to operate trains or enjoy a ride-on train attraction. Children are admitted free
