Territory Days was Rip Roarin Fun




Hello all you duckie fans, Quacky here to report on the weekend going ons with the Quack Gift Shop. Our friends were at two huge festivals in Colorado over the Memorial Day weekend. First was territory Days in old Colorado City. The weather was a bit on the cool and wet side, but that didn't keep the duckie fans from checking out the cowboy ducks, military ducks and even the scream duck! We had so much fun, we'll defiantely be back next year. The duck booth was set up on western wear, and Steve and Jennifer even kept on their cowboy hats most of the days. The hospitality was great and during one rain, some of the ducks had to take a dip in the gutter run off. Watch for the next report from the Boulder Creek festival, and wait until you see our newest member of the flock, the famous Lady Quackington

Choclatefest was absolutely yummy!



Hello Quacky fans. We spent last weekend at the 2nd annual Chocolatefest in Denver, CO. This fun event is the Friday and Saturday just before Mother's day, and as it advertises is chock full of wonderful sweets. Quacky had the rubber ducks in the Mothers Day market along with loofah soaps and deesert treat soaps from Delish Bodyworks. We met lot's of great people once again and even found a few chocolate makers who want to make chocolate ducky suckers for our Quacker Bouquets! It is the best!

Thanks to all the people who came by and made the event so much fun for us and our friends. Hope to see you there next year.

This weekend, Quacky will be under the tent at Thorntonfest in Thornton Colorado. We will have all of our duckys and if the weather is noce, the soaps from delish as well (wouln't want them to get wet).

That's all for now - Quack on!!!

The Denver Duck Drop was a great success!




Hello Duck Lovers, Quacky here again. This past weekend, Quacky was at the Denver Duck Drop, supporting the Denver Foundation and the Denver Public Schools of Southeast Denver. The event was in part sponsored by my friends at the Quacker Gift Shop. There was a design your own duckie booth and Quacker's booth of ducks too. With more than 3000 rubber ducks floating down the creek and over 80 prizes, the duck drop was a great community event. Here are a few pictures from the fun. Hope you enjoy them! Hundreds of people attended the event. When the fire department released the ducks, you could see the cowd race through the park to see who had one. Councilwoman Peggy Lehman's staff led by Sunni Rodgers once again did a marvelous job setting up the event. Thanks to all the volunteers and students who sold the tckets for such a worthwhile event!

Meet Tegan




Hey all you duckie lovers, Quacky here. I want you to meet Tegan. She came to the Denver Duck Drop this weekend. When we met her, she said she was the ultimate duck lover. Now Tegan may look like any other mild mannered gal, but she is one quacktacular fan! Tegan showed us some of the most amazing body art we've seen this side of Duckville. Take a look at her angel and devil duckies. This is not like the devil duckie you find at the Quacker Gift Shop. These are one of a kinds. Tegan also designed some her own ducks at the design your own duck booth. If you see Tegan, make sure to give her your best quack up! She'll love it.
