22nd Annual Duckboat Show - Sunday November 3

Mark it on your calendar - Sunday, November 3, 2002. That is when the South Shore Waterfowlers will be holding its 22nd Annual Duckboat Show and Waterfowl Festival. Again it will take place at Cedar Beach Marina on Ocean Parkway (directions below).

There will be duckboats competing for Best in Category and ultimately Best in Show. We usually have a good number of decoys entered in the carving contest. Please bring down your boat and decoys to enter in the competition. We have a Sporting Clays Shoot - shooting out of a duck blind for bragging rights of top shooter. We have loads of vendors selling different kinds of goods, both duck hunting related as well as other non-hunting related goods. There are many exhibitors loaded with valuable information on the environment, law enforcement, and wildlife management. Our "Partners in Conservation," Ducks Unlimited, will also be present to inform everyone on all the great work they do on Long Island. Raffles for both adults and kids will be available.

I am praying for a carbon copy of last year's weather. It was beautiful and we had a great turnout. I am asking, no begging, for all our members to come down to the show to help out for a little while. It makes for a more enjoyable show for everyone.

So mark your calendar in ink - SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Come out and enjoy the festival. For more information, or if you are an interested vendor, call Curt at (631) 661-0379.
