Dippy Duck is an icon that I've never forgotten. I can recall being a kid and IID would hold the "draw Dippy" contests. I grew up in Calipatria and I remember always seeing that billboard coming into town featuring the winner, which on one occasion was a childhood friend of mine. I don't honestly recall the school visits but I do remember and probably always will the "Dippy Duck says Stay Away, Canals are not the Place to Play" slogan. It's ingrained in my mind and I look forward to seeing Dippy continue reach children.
