And the story goes: the Duck race is a a non-competetive, in aid of charity contest that take place, every year since 2005, in several cities all around the US. You can «adopt» a rubber duck (as the ones shown in this picture) and, if your duck places on the first five positions, you’ll win a prize.
This year, our duck was number 131.254!
As shown in the coming pictures, the huge load is dumped from Columbus bridge into Chicago river from a yellow truck, and then the huge group is pushed from a firefighters boat with firehydrants, till they reach the finishing line, right before the Michigan av. bridge.
The whole thing is about charity, as the money raised (5$ for adopting a duck in the race, and some merchandising that is, indeed, very cool, such as the two ducks shown on the pictures, named Alfredino and Alfredone) go to the Special Olympics. You can learn more on the official website.

Our duck — it goes withouth saying — didn’t win a thing, but our deepest enjoyment of the entire contest.

Great, great idea!

Question by love forever: Books about raising ducks?
We’ve had four pekin ducks since may. they are now big and white. they are quite spoiled as far as pet ducks go. (for christmas, they got watermelon, their favorite treat. they hadn’t had it since summer!) my dad and i built them a pen, and a house connected to the pen for winter. they even have a heated water bucket and hay for bedding. we take care of them really well, but i would like to get a book about raising ducks, any little tips i may have over looked. also, we got them when they were older, already losing their yellow fuzz, and they were afraid of people. we tried our best to get them used to us, but they are still afraid. they won’t come within a couple feet of me, and they come the closest to me out of everybody. are their any books that have a part about socializing them? thanks.
our ducks won’t eat bread, they are too afraid of it. the only treats they will eat is lettuce and watermelon. in the summer, i could sit with the watermelon at my feet and they would happily eat it, but if i moved even a centimeter, they would freak, running away flapping their wings. now thats it winter, its very hard to get near them with all the snow and how cold it is. i was giving them water and the dominant duck Chubby tried to get past me to get out the door. i froze and just whispered encouragement to him, but then his girl Slushie quacked and he ran back to her.
