Prosperity Mortgage Pirate Duck Takes 3rd in RPAC Duck Race

SCAOR (Sussex County Association of Realtors) sponsored a fun, if rain filled, evening at Jungle Jim's in Rehoboth Beach this past Friday to raise money for RPAC - the Realtor Political Action Committee. Most of the local real estate offices purchase an "Office Duck" to decorate and race as a way to raise money. I decided that Prosperity Mortgage would do the same and challange the real estate offices I service and support. My Pirate Duck, the Rate Slasher, is seen here.

It was down to the wire as office ducks jockey for top duck; small ducks vie to win prizes. Which office had the most REALTORS® attending?..... It was time for the Prosperity Mortgage Pirate Duck to emerge from seclusion and have a little fun.

Although we missed out winning the Dapper Duck Award for "best dressed" to Little Miss RPAC 2009 submitted by the Rehoboth Beach Long and Foster office, I think the trophy was stolen. Here's a picture of Little Miss RPAC and I'll let you decide.

Regardless, the evening was a blast and my Pirate Duck came in 3rd in the overall office duck race, handily beating Little Miss RPAC and the entry from my other Long and Foster office in Bethany Beach - Biker Chick.

Individual realtors also purchased ducks and raced them as well. Entertainment was provided by a steel drum band and everyone had a great time.

Events like this are always a fun way to blow off steam and get aways from the pressures of the business we're in. Whether selling houses or loans, this market can make us all a little crazy.

I produced a "virtual tour" of the event for everyone that couldn't make it in person. Hope you enjoy it:
