Better to be a Duck than a Rooster...

The Rooster met up with some of its feathered friends at the Ducks Unlimited 2009 banquet last Thursday. There was nothing foul about this fowl event. The Atlanta chapter of DU drew quite a crowd, and we found some of our real estate buddies there. 

"Ackerman is all about sustainable growth and protecting the environment in which we build on. Ducks Unlimited is at the top of the game in terms of conservation, so it is fairly obvious what drew us to this event", said Hunter Carpenter with Ackerman.

The group gathered in the unfinished 21st floor overlooking the city from four incredible angles before heading out to the famous Cavalia show under the big tent in Midtown.  Just another tough night for Atlanta real estate's best .... but well-deserved!
