Submissions are in and Sugar Hill is ready to select from 6 pairs of names for their new feathered residents. Fans of the waddling downtown duo submitted duck coloring pages with names for consideration by the Duck Naming Committee.

The choices for the city’s two Peking ducks include: Goldy and Rush, Sugar and Shine, Walter and Gracie, Doodle and Waddle, Splish and Splash, or Goldie and Graham. Voting ends Friday, July 31. Expect social media fame soon as the two are officially honored with special names.
