Fans can visit the Waddle In Shop for holiday shopping Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The store will remain open through Thursday, December 21st. Several brand new items are now available, including crewneck sweatshirts, knit beanies, Bluetooth speakers and ornaments.

The Ducks are also collecting toy donations for children spending the holidays in local hospitals. Fans are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys with them to the Waddle In Shop through Monday, December 18th. Members of the Ducks organization will then deliver the toys to pediatric units at select local hospitals before the holidays.

The Waddle In Shop opened on Sunday, December 10th, with a fun-filled day at the ballpark. Those in attendance were able to take FREE family photos with Santa, QuackerJack and Ducks manager Lew Ford in the shop. The ballpark also served as a toy donation drop off location to support the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation (“USMCTT”). Fans drove through the ballpark’s administrative parking lot to drop off new, unwrapped toys for children.
