THE COLLECTORS
their "Shorebird Best of Show" Godwit decoy.
Below the stairs, the show visitor finds the commercial section of the show. Here are the collectors and dealers behind tables of old decoys, gunning artifacts, magazines, duck stamps, and other sporting collectibles. Tool sellers work behind racks of carving basics and accessories, art supplies, books of bird studies and How-To videos of the working methods of championship carvers. Seamstresses and craftsmen offer duck decorated soft wares and jewelry.
