Quack Off

Chris, Val, Anne, Dean and well 3,000 of our closest friends - give or take a few - enjoyed the annual Quack Off duck racing in Avoca, NE. Nope - I don't make these things up. Every year (I think they are on year 29 or something) they race ducks on a frozen tennis court to raise money for the local firefighters. Thousands of people raid the small town of 200 and the day consists of beer - ducks - waiting for the bathroom - beer and well more beer.

Some highlights...

1. Arriving at 9:00am and not be the first ones in the bar (but close)
2. All the duck stuff from hats, to necklaces, to full duck costumes - I personally wore a t-shirt with Long Duck Dong
3. Cheap drinks, no open container law and well really not a lot of rules
4. Actually running into people we know besides people on our two buses.
5. And by far my favorite - watching drunk people lose control of their duck and taking 10 drunken buddies to catch one - flightless duck.

We may return again - it was definitely an experience to say the least!
