Meet the Quack Pack!

I'm so excited to introduce you to this year's Quack Pack: my new flock of friends who flew in to Shelburne Museum from all over the country to bring kid and family visitors a lot of fun things to do this summer.

Below is each person's likes and interests. If you see of my awesome friends on the grounds this summer, be sure to say hi! And tell them Webby sent you!

Name: Wells G.  
From: Shelburne, VT (Hey! I think I've seen her around before!)
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Phish Food  
Favorite Place on the Grounds: The Carousel, because I love the beautifully crafted horses and the upbeat tunes that remind me of an old-fashioned circus.  
Favorite Mystical Creature: Mermaids

Name: Liza B.  
From: Los Angeles, CA

Favorite Mystical Creature: Phoenix

Name: Emily Q.  
From: Decatur, AL  
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: White Chocolate Macadamia, especially as a slushie!
