Duck Festival Bigger Than Ever

The Point Mouillie Duck Fest was incredible this year. For $2 parking, a day of constant entertainment could be achieved. From vendors to hip boot races and dog jumping there was never a dull moment. Of course, not having duck weather helped out immensely.

Vendors included Cabela's, Gander Mt. and Knutson's Sporting Goods as the largest ones but many, up to 60 others, had wares for sale from antiques to fine crafted duck calls. The big tent held the crafters, mostly wood carvers of all types, that were selling everything from ducks to humming birds. There was also a kids play area to burn off some energy pent up from shopping at all the stops. Live entertainment had this layout shooting exercise, hip boot racing, bb gun and archery shoot, sling shot contest and duck calling. 

Also the Huron River Jump Dogs were practicing and competing all day.

 

Just a great outdoor happening put on by a lot of people but with a big plug to Joe Robison the southern Michigan waterfowl specialist and Pointe Mouillie Supervisor.
