Rubber ducks pop up in Canonsburg, taking over several blocks of the borough

People who live in Canonsburg woke up on Monday surrounded by an unusual flock of rubber ducks.

Canonsburg Borough Manager Angela Senay said the ducks suddenly showed up and brought smiles, laughter, and silliness to the community. 

"While we can't say for sure who started this "fowl play," we can say it's a feather-ruffling reminder that joy can come in the smallest (and squeakiest) of packages," Senay said.

Senay thanked the people who live in Canonsburg for embracing the fun behind the rubber ducks showing up and helping keep the spirit of community alive.

"Whether you've found a duck on your doorstep, spotted one at a local business, or even been ducked yourself -- consider it a sign that our town is full of creativity, kindness, and a sense of humor that can't be ruffled," Senay said.

Senay called the surprise "well played" and added that whoever masterminded the idea made Canonsburg an "egg-cellent place to be this week."
