For those that have been to the show. Artie Birdsall recently passed away. He was always set up on the corner by the boat displays and the bathrooms

As you know, I am juggling lots of competing demands of late. I probably cannot make the call - go, no go, 1-day only (as visitor, not vendor) until the middle of next week. Nevertheless, I will be prepared with a vessel and some gunning stool IF I make it to the Garden State.

All the best,

SJS

It has to rain at least one day, it's a tradition.

All~

Family needs have called.... So, I will (I think) get to the Show Sunday only - and as a Visitor, not an Exhibitor.

Hope to see you there!

Looking like it's going to be a great weekend here in New Jersey! No rain in sight... Stop on by The Duck Boat Co Booth I'll be there with Liz & Tom Olsen and a camera in hand as always to capture the action & of course post up for all here who can't make it!
See you soon - A

Well, my Mom needs me more here on Long Island - so no Tuckerton at all this year.... I will head straight back to the farm this afternoon with no detour through the Garden State.

I will miss all the people, boats, decoys, Atlantic White Cedar - but I did have a nice visit here yesterday with a new friend/gunner/carver. Very luckily, my life - while way too busy of late - is never far from our Grand Passion. I will spend all of next week working on gunning vessels - and tending to other waterfowl "chores".

All the best,

SJS

This weekend's show I have to say was by far a much needed improvement from the past years! Great time in Tuckerton, NJ for us all nice meeting friends both new & old... many vendors were happy with sales, new items were displayed with some returning after many years absent. The weather was also a good incentive for larger crowds.. here's a few images of the weekend festivities!
