Sunday, September 10th heralds the seventh
,Annual .Sportsmen's Waterfowl Day at
Darlington Provincial Park, near Oshawa. All
indications are that this ' event wiltbe one of the
biggest and best yet. This .special day is co-
sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Anglers
and Hunters and the Ministry of Natural
Resources, and is designed to demonstrate to the
public the arts and skills of waterfowling and
foster' an awareness of the importance of
waterfowl management.
The complete schedule of events has been
planned w to be entertaining as well as in-
formative. Bullfrog races, held regularly
throughout the day, are one of the fun filled
activities planned, and all small fry are invited
to participate, with the frogs being provided.
For the youngsters, there's also a supervised
target shoot and a decoy head whittling com-
petition where, with wood and tools supplied,
budding carvers can test their skills. Not to be
missed, . is the hip -boot race where the con-
testants race along a bog lined coin se of marshy
obstacles to a soggy finish line. Retriever han-
dling exhibitions, wildlife art displays and an
auction are also part of the festivities.
The big event, of course, for which the
Waterfowl Day is famous, is the decoy carving
contest. Competition will be fierce for the three'
carving classes; open, working and junior,
which will be on display along with the collec-
tions of antique decoys 'in one or the two big
tents. Seasoned collectors will be on hand to
answer questions about this fascinating facet of
waterfowling.
New this year will be an auction of some of the
top working decoys entered in competition along
with a smattering of decoys from previous years
crafted by such notable carvers as Al Glassford,
Paul Burdette and Earl Newhall.
All in all, this event should prove to be both
highly enlightening as well as a lot of fun. If you
don't have anything planned for this weekend,'it
may not be a bad idea to pack up the family and
duck out to Darlington for the show.
