Close to 2,500 people1 were estimated to have participated in the celebration of "Ding" Darling's birthday and the Federal Duck Stamp. Since Darling was the creator of the original duck stamp, the Federal Duck Stamp Office has always included this refuge as one of the required stops during the artist's "tour of duty." This year's artist, 22-year-old Adam Grimm, signed stamps, brochures, copies of "The Duck Stamp Story," T- shirts, tote bags, whatever appeared in front of him.
