Got a duck? Bring it back! 🦆

Tuesday nights at The Pond in Franklin, Tennessee, are about to get a little more interesting.

Starting Tuesday, October 20, at 7 PM, we're kicking off Duck Swap Tuesdays, a new way to have some fun, meet some people, and put those little ducks from our duck machine to good use.

If you've already collected a few ducks, bring them along! Trade with other customers, hunt for one you haven't found yet, or just show off the strangest duck in your collection.

And if you don't have a duck yet, our duck machine will be ready and waiting.

Here's How Tuesday Nights Will Work

7 PM — Let the Duck Swapping Begin!

Bring your ducks, see what everybody else has, and make a few trades. There's no complicated system. Just people having fun and swapping ducks.

8 PM — Duck of the Night!

Our Tuesday bartender, Brin, will pick her favorite duck of the evening. It might be the funniest, the strangest, the coolest, or just one that catches her eye.

The winner gets a little prize from The Pond — and, of course, bragging rights.

All Evening — Keep the Ducks Coming!

The duck machine will be available all night, so there's always a chance to add something new to your collection.

We're Giving It Four Tuesdays

We're trying Duck Swap Tuesdays for four weeks to see how everybody likes it. If folks have fun and keep showing up, we might just have ourselves a new Tuesday night tradition.

You don't need to be a serious collector. You don't even need to own a duck when you walk in.

Just come see Brin, grab a cold drink, and have a little fun.
