Publicity Quacker Dave Johnson said this year's theme should make for some interesting costumes for the Duck Royalty Pageant and float ideas for the parade.
The artist for this year’s logo was Jerran Duty, who recently moved to Deming from Dallas, Texas, and is associated with the First Assembly of God Church.
Finishing touches were added by Karl Bennett, Anthony DuBois and Nancy Blakey with Karl's Embroidery.
The logo features a duck swinging from a vine in a rain forest. The top of the logo features the words "36th Great American Duck Race," with the year and “Deming NM” at the bottom of the logo.
The theme will be used for judging the Duck Royalty Pageant Thursday night, and the Tournament of Ducks Parade Saturday morning.
The 36th Annual Great American Duck Race will be held August 20th-23rd. Johnson said shirts should be available in July.
