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!

  3. put a food bucket/ container and if they dont eat it all just leave it in the garden so they might eat it later.
    if they eat it all and keep anoyying you just give them some more food.
    with meals in a separet food container put water cause they do get thirsty offten.

    good luck and send me a pic of them…i love ducks!!!
