The Long Island Decoy Collectors Association will hold their Annual Show on Saturday, March 3, 2018. As in recent years, it will be from 9 AM to 4 PM at the IBEW Hall - 370 Veterans Highway in Hauppauge (pronounced hop-pog). It is just north of the LI Expressway (I-495), about 45 minutes east of NYC.
As in 2016, this year's Show will feature the CONTEMPORARY DECOY EXHIBITION - an opportunity for today's carvers to show their current work among all of the antique decoys and gunning memorabilia.
Details are at: http://lidecoycollectors.org/2018-annual-show-contemporary-decoy-exhibition/
Carvers have plenty of time - and cold weather - to knock out a few birds for the Exhibition. As in 2016, we have two classes - the Al McCormick Gunning Class for true gunning birds and the Shang Wheeler Heritage Class for more elaborate, stylized decoys.
INFORMATION for CARVERS can be downloaded as a pdf from the website. It has been mailed out to over 80 carvers. Please contact me if you want to be on the list - or want more information. Changes from the 2016 show include conventional judging (a 3-judge panel for each class) and pre-registration. We want to know in advance of March 3 how many birds to expect - so we can arrange the tables more efficiently.
I hope to see you and your decoys there!
All the best,
SJS
