This just in! CelebriDucks is doing the final production of their Made in America ducks right here in New York City! They will still do all their pre-production in Ohio…..where they opened their first rubber duck factory. However, the final production will happen in the Bronx and the final pad printing will be done at their new NYC facility in Brooklyn. And….this new CelebriDucks NYC factory is the same factory that was originally used to produce Ernie’s rubber duck! Pure serendipity!

Everyone loves a rubber duck, right? Of course! And here’s one more reason to love them….they help raise money for charities in the form of duck races. Duck races have become quite popular around the world. Chances are, there will be one happening in your city in the warmer months. In this case -deep in the heart of Texas- Rockwall County has created an entire festival around the duck race to help raise money for Boys & Girls Club and Meals on Wheels of Rockwall County. With the support of community sponsors, the Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta will become an annual community-wide event to raise much needed funds for these two organizations.
Race day (September 22) will begin with a 5K duck dash. Then a “duck fest” with vendors, arts & crafts, jewelry, entertainment, food, and more will take place most of the day. There will also be a duck pageant where jumbo ducks will be decorated by corporate sponsors and judged for a prize ribbons. Then the ducks will be raced at 1:30 for the covenant Golden Duck Trophy!
At 3pm the big race takes place! 5,000 little blue rubber ducks will race down the fountains at the Rockwall Harbor toward the finish line in hopes of winning their adopted owner an awesome prize! Will your duck win? It can only win if you adopt a duck by clicking here. You need not be present to win. To see more about the Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta click here to see their website and here to “like” them on facebook.

Wowee! Bud Product has been busy this year! They have released their 3rd series of ducks this year! The designs are insane! That’s why we love Bud so much! The ducks come in special designed boxes to match their design, also.
One thing that I absolutely love about their ducks is the “catch phrases” that come along with them. Here are the ducks’ witty musings (from the new ducks pictured above)…
Solar Duck: “Some like it hot!”
Hipster Duck: “Soho….boho…yo..yo!”
Puff Duck: “Who’s trippin’ now?”
Asteroid Duck: “Outta this world!”
Mulah Duck: “You can never have enough!”
Spiffy Duck: “retro vintage…..AWESOME!”
You can get the ducks now from the usual suspects…Duckshop and Just Ducks.

This little golden nugget is the newest creation in Austroducks’ line of Austrian themed ducks. This little duck is no other than Austrian composer…..Johann Strauss! Known as “The Waltz King”, Strauss was largely responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century. He composed over 500 waltzes, polkas, quadrilles and other types of dance music, as well as several operettas and a ballet in his lifetime. Leave it to Austroducks to make a duck of this renown Austrian composer!
The Austroducks line is growing rapidly with famous Austrian themed ducks….such as Mozart, Sigmund Freud, and Gustav Klimt among others. The ducks are carefully crafted and hand painted….making them a must have for duck collectors. The detail of the new Strauss duck is impeccable…and the hair and mustache add a perfect touch to the character of the duck. Bravo Austroducks!

Over in Columbus, OH a special exhibition is taking place. Seamus Liam O’Brien has created these pastel drawings of rubber ducks! Any duck collector who has a look at these drawings will know exactly which ducks have been drawn in these pieces. I recognize some of the ducks in the drawings from my rubber duck collection! It’s so fascinating to see them drawn in such a large scale!
“The installation entitled “Happiness” was composed of multiple large scaled colored drawings of individual rubber ducks. The piece is a reflection of my memories of Walt Disney World… individuals finding enjoyment and pleasure by being completely enveloped within a colorful childlike environment,” says Seamus.
You can see all of the duck drawings in more detail (as well as other great drawings by the artist) on Seamus’ flickr stream by clicking here.
Now that’s something to squeak about!
