Six creative rubber ducks, each with unique decorative themes: a purple duck with flowers, a black and white yin-yang style duck, a blue duck with sunflower decor, a classic yellow duck among mini ducks, a black duck with a bejeweled design and spiky yellow hair, and a blue duck with sunflowers and leaves.

Duck Art Extravaganza

Get Ready for a Quacktastic Celebration! Each year, we celebrate creativity and community with our Decorated Duck Competition!

This year, child care providers are joining the fun by decorating their own ducks. The duck that receives the highest bid will win a special trophy to proudly display in their classroom!

We're also inviting local artists to create duck-themed masterpieces that will be showcased throughout our communities. To make it even more exciting, the public can participate in a scavenger hunt to find these artistic ducks.
