Rubber Duckie Race

[bug_dan]

Hardly seems like a year has passed since the last duck race on the Ala Wai canal. The 2005 duck race will take place on April 2nd and benefits Cerebral Palsy in Hawaii.

For anyone interested here is the web site.

I've already adopted 3 ducks so I'll be looking forward to some competition.

Ah, is it that time already? Thanks Dan - I'll have to go sign up my ducks.

Spleen,

 

Not sure what I'll do when/IF I win that Nissan truck, do you have a big garage??

[spleen93]

If you win the Nissan truck and want to give it to me, I'm sure we can figure out something about a parking space for it. :D

Spleen,

 

Actually I was thinking most of those prizes would not do me a whole lot of good. Nice of you to offer to take the prizes off my hands.

[spleen93]

I'm always looking out for your best interests, Dan. ;)

Hey Spleen,

 

The big duck race is getting awfully close, just want to wish you and your ducks, Good Luck!!

[spleen93]

Dan - shoot, I totally forgot! I just checked the website and found out that the deadline was back on March 28th. I'll just have to cheer on your ducks this year. :(

Dan: Don't forget - You promised me one of the prizes - I think it was a trip - I'll have to look back and see....lol!!

 

Good luck Dan's duckies!!

Emi,

 

Spleen has got dibs on the truck, and I've reserved the trip to Las Vegas prize for you. Hey with four ducks in a 20,000 duck race the chances are pretty slim, BUT who knows?

[spleen93]

Now I REALLY have to cheer on your ducks. :D

First the bad news, I haven't had any phone calls yet from Hawaii, but the good news is I don't remember giving them a phone number. I keep checking the web site but they haven't posted the winners, so Emi and Spleen, there is still a slim

chance.

[bug_dan]

Hey Emi,

 

I see the Big Island isn't being left out either. They have a race in July, I'll have to check it out.

[spleen93]

So I take it still no phone call, Dan? :)

 

Spleen

[bug_dan]

No phone calls as yet so I've set my sights on the Big Island Race at

The Great Waikoloa Rubber Duckie Race on July 4th, 2005

[SweetEmi]

Thanks Dan for the heads up - I'll still be here - leaving for Reno on the 9th. Maybe I can even cheer in person!!

The winners have been announced and I don't see my name there. No one won the truck either.http://ucpahi.org/winners.htm

[spleen93]

Bummer, Dan. You should call them and let them know that they forgot to put your name down as the winner of the truck. :) Don't see a way to sign up for the Waikoloa duckie race on the website yet, BTW.

We're involved in a Duck Race here, and if any of you have contact info for those duck races mentioned, I'd like to contact them to pick their brains on some of the details. Any kokua appreciated!

[bug_dan]

Patti,

 

The race is run by the United Cerebral Palsey of Hawaii. Here's the link to their home page. Sorry I don't have any names but you might contact the organization.
