#QuackPGH




If you live in Pittsburgh, you knew it was coming.  You may have arranged to leave work early to see it's arrival.  You have most likely been asked if you visited it yet.  Yep, we are talking about the giant 40-foot rubber ducky that is floating in our river.  So why has everyone in Pittsburgh gone ducky?


This 40 foot tall, amazingly cute rubber duck is part of the Rubber Duck Project that was created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.  His ducks have waddled through France, Australia, Japan, Brazil and five other countries before it shook the tail feathers of everyone in the Steel City.

Pittsburgh welcomes The Duck with open arms and even hosted a party in its honor last Friday.  The Clemente Bridge was closed and children and adults alike enjoyed a light hearted party for a Rubber Ducky.  What you may not realize, said Duck, is actually a piece of artwork. 


Unlike any art exhibit that I have seen, this Duck had people of all ages crazy excited.  We waited to visit until Saturday with hopes that the hype may have calmed down, boy were we wrong.  Point State Park was packed with Duck seekers, all trying to get that perfect photo.  

There aren't to many things that happen like this Duck anymore, right?  This event had nothing else to do with anything except to make people smile. There was no winner or loser.  There was no political attachment.  There was no hidden message to the Rubber Duck.  Just gather and enjoy and that we did.  The Rubber Duck will be stationed at Point State Park until October 20th.  It is monitored by 24 hour surveillance, so don't get any ideas about decorating or dressing up the Duck, they are watching to make sure that everyone in Pittsburgh and beyond can enjoy this little pop of happiness that floats in our river.
