Who does Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos benefit?
All proceeds from Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos will benefit the Corona Symphony Orchestra, a Corona non-profit public benefit corporation.
How does it work?
Everyone who adopts a duck, whether online, in the mail, at an adoption booth or in a sponsoring business is entered into what we call E-Quack, a database that stores all of the information. Next to your name in E-Quack is the number of ducks you have adopted. The tag range is entered into E-Quack and all the numbers are shuffled up. Then, E-Quack automatically assigns the number of ducks you have adopted next to Tag Numbers. Thus, if you adopted 5 ducks, your name will be placed next to 5 different Tag Numbers.
How do my ducks get in the water?
Let’s Tag! A few days prior to The Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos, volunteers will place numbered tags on the bottom of every duck that will be in the event - which is some 5,000 Ducks! The tags are waterproof labels beginning with a 7-digit number and ending with a 7-digit number.
For Example: 8580001-8590000
What is my tag number?
Tag numbers are automatically and randomly assigned by computer. We want to make sure that no duck has an unfair advantage, and the event is not fixed, so to ensure the integrity of the event, tag numbers are never given out. Rest assured, however, that all the ducks you have adopted will be dropped over the Dos Lagos fountain.
What if you have 4,000 Adopted Ducks but you have 5,000 Tagged Ducks on Event Day?
If all our ducks have not been adopted by event day, it means that a lucky adopter can still adopt up to an hour prior to the drop which means by 1:00pm on May 30th. Their names will be placed at random into the mix, next to a number that does not already have a name by it. Anyone can adopt up until the event starts as long as the event is not sold out. Those ducks not adopted will not be included with the paid for / adopted rubber ducks that are dropped onto the water fountain.
When and where is Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos and what does it cost?
Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos will take place on Saturday, May 30th at The Shops at Dos Lagos, 2780 Cabot Drive, Corona CA. A maximum number of adopted ducks will be 5,000. Hopefully, we will adopt all ducks. However the total number adopted by 1:00pm that Saturday, only those ducks will be dropped into the fountain at approximately 2:00pm. Each duck will cost $5.
How Are Duck Drop Winners Selected?
All adopted ducks will be dropped into the fountain at the designated time during the event. Once in the fountain, event staff will use a net to randomly collect a group of ducks from the fountain. From this group, a designated VIP guest will randomly select individual ducks to determine prize winners. Each prize will be announced prior to the random selection of a duck, and the number on the selected duck will correspond to the winning participant.
How will I know if my duck wins?
Corona Symphony Orchestra will contact you using the information you provided with your duck adoption. You do not need to be present to win.
Are they real ducks or rubber ducks?
Rubber ducks, silly!
Who can adopt a duck?
Anyone! However, you must be at least 18 years old to adopt a duck.
Once I adopt a duck, do I get to keep it?
No. After you adopt your duck, Duck Drop @ Dos Lagos team will work hard to train, coach, and make sure each one is ready for event day. After the event, all the ducks will fly off to their next event somewhere in the US.
Do I need to be present to win?
No, the winner does not need to be present to win. We do hope you will join us for the festivities though!
Can I adopt ducks on event day?
If all our 5,000 have not been adopted as of 1pm May 30th, the remaining ducks will be available for adoption on event day until one hour prior to the start of the event at an adoption booth set up during the event.
