Susie the Duck Days - Lodi, August 13

The annual Susie the Duck Days arrives on Saturday, August 13.  Stay at the Inn and enjoy numerous

festivities on Saturday.  There are games, a parade and car show plus a DUCK RACE. 

The Story of Susie the Duck

The wrought iron arch above Spring Creek says it all: Home of Susie the Duck. However,

one of the most common inquiries heard in Lodi concerns the distinction given this duck,

called Susie.  The simple, but charming story, springs from the nest of the country mallard

who settled in downtown Lodi in 1948. She laid her eggs in a masonry flower basket at the bridge

where guests could observe her brood.  The duck captured the imagination of Lodi Police

chief Will Breunig, who promptly named the mascot "Susie" after his granddaughter. However,

this is only part of the story. Her maternal mannerisms endeared the brown bird to many other

locals. Soon, word of her faithful annual return to the flower basket to hatch two clutches of eggs

each year gained national media attention. Ambitious city fathers decided to seize the spotlight

and host the first "Susie the Duck Festival". That tradition of recognizing Susie and her feathered

friends continues to this day.
