Quack quack! 'Ducky Derby' looks to help people in need

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. — It's your chance to win some cash and help out a great cause -- all at the same time!

NewsChannel 5 Anchor Carrie Sharp will emcee the Wilson County Community Help Center's annual Ducky Derby Party again this year! It's coming up on Saturday, May 3.

Here's how it works: buy a duck for $10, and if your duck is pulled, you'll win a prize -- the top prize is $2,000 cash!

You don't have to be present at the party to win — you only need to buy a duck!

All of the money goes toward the Wilson County Community Help Center, which provides food, clothing, and other essentials to those in need.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
