25th Annual Great Hawaiian Rubber Duckie Race

[kaniamea]

Today once again hundreds of cute yellow rubber duckies were racing down the Ala Wai Canal. This is a fun annual event that benefits the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Hawaii. People could adopt a duckie and there were prizes for the first 50 duckies that crossed the finish line. The duckies were dumped from the Kalakaua Avenue bridge into the canal and then they bobbed their way down the canal, this year in record time. The first ones reached the finish line in about 5 minutes (other years it was around 10 minutes).
