[DUCKIE]

I've yet to run one... although it is a goal one day to do so...

I assume getting permission to run the race is a need-to-do (is it considered gambling like a lottery?) Along with finding a body of flowing water, buying the ducks, numbering all the ducks (& allowing buyers to decorate?), and collecting them all afterward (& returning to buyers?).

A while back I was doing some "research" (for a prank yet to be pulled/my collection which is probably getting close to 300 now) and it seemed like buying ducks in bulk from one of the duck-race companies might be the most cost effective. That was a while ago however, and I do not know what prices are now.

At the time I was looking for unique ducks anyways... and I got ~150 in a mixed lot off ebay but they were not all the same size like I thought they would be.
