Disguise a Duck Challenge

October 5, 2026 Kristy Riley

Stop by the Edmeston Library to participate in our Disguise a Duck challenge!

Pick up a rubber duck in the library’s cafe, take it home and use any materials you want (paint, clay, fabric, ANYTHING) to disguise them.

Give them a Halloween costume, crochet them into a pumpkin, turn them into a monster or princess, build a diorama for them – the possibilities are endless.

ALL ages are encouraged to participate!

Return your duck and slip of paper by October 24th and we will display them throughout the library from October 26th until November 30th.
