The oversized aquatic toy comes in peace, “knows no frontiers, doesn’t discriminate against people and doesn’t have a political connotation”, said its Dutch creator, Florentijn Hofman, “the rubber duck connects everyone’.

Hofman claims that “The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve tensions as well as define them. [It] is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages.”

If this beautiful duck comes to America we would love for him to appear at our Lucky Ducky Regatta in Belhaven, NC. This is a fund raiser for our local hospital. This is a small riverside town and something of this magnitude would be an awesome crowd pleaser. We would be willing to compensate for the expenses if necessary. How do I contact this Amazing Duck?!
