Default Duck Pond Game

I am part of a Lions club and I have been charged with building a ducky
pond game for the kids. It's the type where one pulls a duck and
get's a prize.

I did try all of the amusement and game rentals and no one had a unit
to rent so I've pulled my scrap from my shop and am building a table.

Need suggestions:
The real problem in the "pond" that is the trough where the ducks ride.
I was thinking of vinyl gutter or ripping sewer and drain pipe in
half. I'd use a fountain pump to push the water. Has anyone ever made
something like this or have ideas?

Thanks,
Keith

Old truck or tractor tire ripped around its circumference?

You could get a kiddie pool from Wal-mart and install the pump jet to
stir the ducks.

.... or cover the inside of the trough with "ice shield" used for roofing.
