Mary Walker of Grace Clinic returns to Jeep Talk Show to talk Rubber Duck Regatta and Jeep Festival in Rockwall, Texas. The 2026 event keeps the free duck race at The Harbor on October 10 while shifting the big prizes to the Driving for Good sweepstakes: a modified 2026 Mojito Green Jeep Wrangler, Yamaha VX Deluxe Wave Runner with trailer, and $10,000 cash. Learn how the change from raffle to sweepstakes works, why they made it, and how both Grace Clinic and Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas benefit.
