The Village of Andrew’s world-famous mallard is now sporting a face mask. Village resident Gary Leppek first noticed the change in appearance on Wednesday. At first, he wondered why a bunch of silly goofs put a face mask on a duck? Now he says, “I think it’s cute. People like it.” It is definitely attracting a lot of attention in the community. Leppek said from the ground to the top of the duck’s beak is 16 feet high, so not an easy task for whoever took the effort to dress it up COVID-19 style. The mallard weight 1 tonne and has a wingspan of 23 feet. It is located along 50 Street and Stelmach Avenue.
