Milo was a lucky duck this week when he played the New York Lottery. Adopt your duck for the Million Dollar Duck Race today and you could be a lucky duck too! Hey, you never know... It is the week of Milo the Million Dollar Duck's annual Manhattan Migration to South Street Seaport for the 2006 Million Dollar Duck Race to benefit Special Olympics New York. Tomorrow, Thursday, September 14th, Milo ends his tour of Manhattan and joins over 25,000 of his little rubber duck friends for a race in the East River.
Milo was headed to the Lottery studio to help Yoooo-laaaaanda Vega, one of his favorite people and a huge supporter of Special Olympics, draw the New York Lottery numbers this week. He got his feathers fluffed and was looking just ducky in anticipation but had to duck out last minute due to several opportunities that hatched unexepectedly - one of which was an appearance on CBS's Early Show this morning. If any of you were up at the quack of dawn this morning you might have seen him with all of his Special Olympics friends.
Fortunately Milo will have the chance to spend the entire day with Yolanda and other luminaries during a day of fun at the Seaport. Come down, meet Milo, play the Lottery's Lucky Duck Game, enjoy WPLJ's party patrol, later on dance to the music of The Bluetones on the main stage and watch those 25,000+ duckies race. We'll be there rain or shine - although we are hoping for more shine than rain. To see the full schedule of the day go to: www.2006duckrace.kintera.org.
Milo also wants to remind you that you can still adopt lucky duck(s), while supplies last, on the website until 9/14/06 at 1:00 PM and in person at the South Street Seaport until 5:00 PM ! So come on down to the Seaport tomorrow meet Milo and watch 25,000 of his little rubber ducky friends race. There will be fun, games, live music by The Bluetones on the main stage and flocks of ducks!
