Attended Duck Fest hosted by a local duck producer last Sunday...
http://www.kingcoleducks.com/celebrate-duckfest 

Canuckistan mothership had a demo booth cooking with four Larges. I went for a look-see since it isn't far from me... turned out they were seriously short handed (it's their first experience at the event so didn't expect the huge crowd), just two of them and one was not feeling well! I was instantly 'roped' into helping them for 3 hours till closing   It was Fun though!

My friend posted the final numbers elsewhere:
Crazy Day of Eggin' at the King Cole Duckfest...5 Whole Ducks, 90 Duck Breasts, 576 Duck Burgers and 480 Duck Sausage. 3600+ people on the farm in 4 hours...

Not sure what's in the duck sausages and burgers, there was hardly any flare-up and they weren't dry.

Some photos I snapped amidst the chaos...

I can almost taste the delicious duck fat. Cool.

Looks fun and good.

That right there gets a full heel clicking 21 gun salute. Mighty impressive way to step in and help out the people in need. 3600 hungry grumpy people VS two people weilding spatulas would have been fairly unpleasant. For that kind of crowd (you)--they might want to expand the cooking arsenal. Again, way to step in.

@Jstroke thanks, that's funny! my bet is next year they'll have a contingent of at least 5 or 6 ... cooks, servers and eggducators to promote BGE.

Best way to prepare duck: throw it in the trash and go buy a burger. 

Nice of you to step in and help out.

@paqman sorry to disappoint my friend!

@Toxarch agree it's not a cook-friendly creature, but so worth the effort

Is King Cole in the GTA Gary? Thought all the duck came from Quebec

Yes Steven, King Cole is at Aurora Rd/Warden in Aurora/Newmarket, see link in first post above, they're even into sous vide cooked duck products.  You're thinking Quebec's Lake Brome ducks; they are competitors.
