This slogan was an easy one to investigate. Located just south of town is a fenced area with fencing over the top also. Inside are thousands of mallard ducks. One of the largest mallard farms is located here.
I was also surprised to discover that even though the Apple River runs through Hanover, and a dam there creats a nice backwater, there was not even one duck seen on the water.
