The Rubber Ducky

Since we failed to explain the relevance of the giant rubber ducky, let me explain...

Here in Fairbanks there is a rubber ducky race down the Chena River (runs right through town). They let hundreds of little rubber duckys with numbers on them float down the river and people bet on them (yes, just like horses). The winner gets $10,000. They taking bets at the festival so that is why there were two giant ducks.

That is the coolest thing I've ever heard. Will you guys be there for that? If you are I need you to take a picture so I can frame it and hang it on my wall.

We have one in Cincinnati, it is called the Rubber Duck Regatta. They drop all of the duckies off of a bridge and catch them at the next bridge, it is cute. I hope you get to see it, it is fun to see all those ducks in the water:)
