Is that tasty summer weizen beer for me? Why, thank you! Lanco has been releasing some wonderful new duck designs this year, and these ducks are no exception! What better way to celebrate the summer and the popular tradition of the beer gardens with these cute Bavarian duckies!

Here comes a duck on a magic carpet! Duck! Not really-but this little guy is another new Lanco creation. If you add him to your collection….you never know….he may grant you 3 wishes!

Disneyland Duck Race

Recently in Anaheim at Disneyland’s “It’s A Small World” canal, nearly 500 rubber ducks were purchased for $5 to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. More that $1,700 was raised! What made this race special (besides it being at Disneyland) was that it was an employee funraiser….er fundraiser….where each employee got to design their own duck for the race. The Fantasyland management team thought that it would be fun for the cast members and a great fundraiser.

On Wednesday morning, before Disneyland opened up for the day, the boats were taken from the attraction’s canal for the 15-minute race. The first-place finisher received a trophy with a rubber duck. There were also contests for other categories such as most creative, the duck that best resembled a Disney character, and best villain.

Everyone had a good time….even Disney employee, Kathy Egan, whose duck finished in last place……”He was just enjoying the sites and having a grand ol’ time around the world,” she said.

Rubber Duck Film & Arts Festival

Colleen — Sun, 20 May 2012 10:45:21 +0000

The Rubber Duck Film and Arts Festival is not very far away! It is being held this year in Hichin at the Town Hall on June 30 & July 1 of this year. The festival is a collaborative platform for showcasing a selection of new and niche art forms. It was founded in 2011 and showcases performance poetry, short films (all genres), 3D films, performing arts, photography, conceptual art, graphic design, and art installations.

Why is it called Rubber Duck Film & Arts Fest? Here is their philosophy:

“Firstly, as the old saying goes “Never say no to a Rubber Duck”…..Secondly, to most people the rubber duck is, at least beneath the surface, more than a bath-time distraction which gets used briefly by children and is then relegated to an eternity of duck limbo in the loft. It is a symbol of child-like innocence, wonder and most importantly - Imagination.

The symbol of the rubber duck evokes memories of other imagined worlds dreamed of while soaking in a warm bubbly tub, it is this very basic and beautiful faculty of the mind - to dream and create - which is celebrated on a large scale by inviting artists from all walks of life and areas of media to showcase their work in one place over a weekend for a curious art-hungry audience to view and discuss.”

Duckshow is excited to report that our duck film, “My Diamond In the Rough,” is showing at the festival!

Hooray! There will be more updates as the date gets closer! For more info on the Rubber Duck Film & Arts Festival click here.

Gray Hat Cowduck: “Yup.”
