Can you help find the last missing duck in time?
United Way officials are reporting that three of four missing rubber duckies have now been found, thanks in part to a tip from Barbara Groves of North Cape May, who guessed that the third missing duck was hiding at the office of Senior Excursions, on Pacific Ave. in Wildwood.
Rainy Day Duck had just returned from a Senior Excursions day trip to Atlantic City with a group of senior traveling companions, when he was spotted. He said he loved seeing the sites and making new friends but he was ready to get back to work…at least for now.
“I know I’m not quite weady for wetirement yet, but being a celebrity duck can get you down. After the wace, I’ll be back for some west and welaxation,” he said.
For helping to find the missing duck Barbara Groves will receive a quack pack prize pack that includes passes to Morey’s Piers and a gift certificate to Court House Diner. She will also be entered into a grand prize drawing for a Seaside Fun Pack of Morey’s Piers passes, Tram Car tickets, and admission for two to the Sweet Soul and Rock ‘n Roll Concert at the Wildwoods Convention Center on Labor Day weekend. The concert features entertainment by Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Temptations Review with Dennis Edwards and The Spinners, plus celebrity impersonator Linda Axelrod as Joan Rivers. The winner will be chosen at the Rubber Ducky Regatta on Aug 15.
But United Way officials are not ready to celebrate yet. One duck remains missing. Luckily, clues to his whereabouts have been discovered, but they need help finding him.
Examine the photos and the letter from Kayak Duck to see if you can determine his hiding place. If you think you have located him, email your tip to flewthecoop@uwcmc.org before noon, Saturday, Aug. 7. Please include your name, hometown, phone number and a description and location of the duck’s hiding place to be eligible to win. A winner will be randomly selected from all correct entries and announced here next week.
Here’s the clue:
It seems my journey has led to a dead end, but what a beautiful place to be. According to their sign, this place was established in 1736, so it’s been here a long time…I would like to be here a long time, too. I can just watch the seashore traffic roll by as I float along the shore of my new ducky habitat. I can sip cocktails on the sand overlooking an unused bridge, or I can head indoors to enjoy a delicious crab cake or bread pudding in the dining room. Life is just ducky.
See you sometime,
Kayak Duck
