(Rockwall) June 25, 2013 – NEWS SPLASH: The number of Flo-T Duck sightings has increased dramatically since Blue Ribbon News first reported the discovery of curious web-footed tracks around Lake Ray Hubbard.
The once-elusive waterfowl has become somewhat of a celebrity, seen mingling with Congressman Ralph Hall and more than 30 honorees during the Older Americans Day Celebration at the Rockwall County Library. (Flo-T claims she’s a senior citizen in ‘duck years’.)
As the official mascot of the Rockwall Rubber Duck Regatta, Flo-T is shaking tail feathers everywhere she goes – quacking about the Duck Dash 5K, the Arts & Crafts Vendor Fair, the Corporate Duck Beauty Pageant, the VID (Very Important Duck) Party – and of course, the second annual regatta which will send thousands of ducks splashing down The Harbor fountains in a race to the finish line. The two-day charity event, set for Sept. 20-21, will benefit the Boys & Girls Club and Meals on Wheels Senior Services of Rockwall County.
“This is one duck call you have to make,” quacked Flo-T. Call 855-55-DUCKS (38257) or visit rockwallduckrace.org to order your single baby duck, quack pack, derby dozen, feathery flock, corporate or colossal duck. You can also adopt a duck at the Regatta booth at Harbor FreedomFest on Sunday, June 30.
Event sponsors include the City of Rockwall, Lake Pointe Medical Center, tDick’s Sporting Goods, Spine Team Texas, Power Bar, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Rockwall, Alien Wraps, OutLaunched, Nestle, Lovett PR, Signature Signs & Graphics, and Blue Ribbon News.
