What's With the Duck?
Meet Henry Duckworth — a fun-loving, one-of-a-kind icon who travels the highways and byways of California's Central Valley, seeking those who will seek him. He loves attention, and people love him right back.
The team at The Spa Doctor in Modesto adopted Henry from his origins as an art car built for Burning Man, and reimagined him as the giant, yellow, rubber duck ambassador he was always meant to be.
