It's time to register for Duckfest 2007! Duckfest is the only rubber duck collector's convention in the world and is being held this year in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday, June 23 starting at 11am. Every year Duckfest presents a unique opportunity to get together with fellow rubber duck collectors and other rubber duck fanatics. As usual, Duckfest will have food, fun, duck selling, duck buying, and games. This year there will also be a swimming pool so bring your swim gear (or you can just bring a duck to swim for you). Don't forget to bring ducks to trade or sell, cash to buy ducks, and photos of duck madness to share.
 
We've gotten a lot of interest from onlookers in recent years, but Duckfest is still too small to absorb casual onlookers, sorry. Thus we have the bummer, disclaimer portion of our announcement:
 
    * Rubber duck ollectors and rubber duck fanatics only.
    * Duckfest is for adults 18 and up only. Kids get to be kids every day and grownups get to be kids at Duckfest.  Exception: adult collectors may bring their kids if they are prepared to supervise and take full responsibility for them at all times.
 
If you would like to attend, you must email Betsy (betsypots at verizon.net) to register and get directions no later than June 7, 2007.
 
Limited supplies of the official Duckfest 2007 rubber duck are also  available from Betsy. See photo below. See you there, ducksters!
