Rubber Ducky Race and Carnival - 2005 |
|
It's just an ordinary rubber ducky in a VERY large bathtub -- the 7 1/2-mile-long Big Bear Lake, CA. But this ducky is with over 2,000 of his closest friends, and any one of them could make someone a THOUSAND DOLLARS richer. Each year, they "race" across the most grueling 50 yards of the bathtub/lake. The race and carnival are held annually at Meadow Park Swim Beach, in cooperation with the Big Bear Valley Recreation and Parks Department. |
