The 37th Rappahannock River Waterfowl Show took place on March 19-20, 2016. The unique festival show featured artists, collectors, carvers, sculptors and photographers with variety of waterfowl related art, antiques and conservation exhibits. A very popular free of charge activity at the show this year was youth decoy making. The Virginia Waterfowlers’ Association and Rappahannock Carvers & Collectors Guild in association with Fowl Foolers provided youths the opportunities to assemble and paint Gunning Style decoys to take home and use afield. The Guild provided Bufflehead decoys made from crabpot buoys. The Association provided Canada goose, Snow goose and Brant decoys made from foam bodies. Components from Fowlfoolers Decoys were used for the goose decoys. This type of activity has been very successful with 4H programs in the past five years. Many of the youths enjoyed making their first decoy.

As you all know, we have been hard at work here at Fowl Foolers redesigning some of our heads. To support that effort, we had two well-known decoy carvers provide us with our newly designed heads. What we want to do now is let you, the waterfowler, pick our new heads. This is your chance to have a say in what we do next with our decoys. Pick one of each of the 3 different species and we will share the results at the end of the poll. DO NOT VOTE BASED ON PAINT SCHEMES! The poll ends on April 15th.
