Ducklings on Parade

by

It is with great excitement that we announce a new project that Garden Club of the Back Bay friend Nancy Schon is involved in, and it requires your help! 

As you may know, her Make Way for Ducklings sculpture is decorated or dressed regularly and mysteriously (and lovingly) with seasonal, holiday, sporting, or special events outfits. We have all been enchanted with these surprise hats, outfits or decorations!

In consultation with her publisher, she has been asked to create a charming book showing photographs of the Ducklings wearing different outfits.

So, we need your photographs!

Working together with her publisher’s staff, Nancy will choose a diverse representation of all photos submitted. Please choose the most interesting and engaging photograph and of the best quality possible.
