Town of Duck Shines Bright with New Documentary Premiere and Iconic Sculpture

On a delightful Thursday evening, October 3, 2024, the charming Town of Duck took center stage with the much-anticipated premiere of the mini-documentary, “Winged Horses of the Outer Banks.” This festive event celebrated not only the captivating tales of the Outer Banks’ wild horses but also introduced the town’s newest and most colorful addition: Mallard, the Stallion of Duck.

A Community Celebration

The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as locals and visitors gathered in town park. Everyone was thrilled to see the magnificent Mallard, who now stands proudly next to the picnic gazebo. This one-of-a-kind stallion boasts 104 unique images that tell stories of Duck’s rich history, its diverse wildlife, and the memorable events that shape the vibrant community. It’s truly a stunning artistic display!

What makes Mallard even more special is the involvement of the community. Volunteers from Duck came together to contribute to this heartwarming project, each leaving their own mark on the horse. Not only does this make Mallard a beloved town symbol, but it also reflects the creativity and unity of Duck’s residents.

A Journey Through Mallard’s Images

Each of the 104 images on Mallard is not just a pretty picture; they come with their own story. There’s an accompanying index that lists the image title, the painter, and a brief description, making it easy for anyone to dive deeper into the lore behind each depiction. The index can be accessed online, providing a chance for those interested to explore the artwork further.
