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

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

Old truck or tractor tire ripped around its circumference?

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