Only specialty rubber duck racers can be kept after the race concludes, you may retrieve these ducks from the head table. These unique ducks, designed with distinctive features and themes, are specifically crafted for collectors and enthusiasts. All other rubber ducks participating in the race must be returned to ensure they can enter their hibernation phase. This practice helps maintain the integrity and longevity of the non-specialty ducks, allowing them to rest and be prepared for future events. By returning the standard racers, we uphold the spirit of the race while honoring the special place that the collectible ducks hold in the community.
