Decoys: Records Of Our Past
Thursday, February 28, 2008
The Annual Decoy, Fishing Tackle & Sporting Collectibles Show, one
of the oldest such shows on the East Coast, will be held at the
Patchogue Manor, located at 9-11 Railroad Avenue in Patchogue, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. on March 1.
In addition to being a great opportunity to
buy and trade antique collectibles and related outdoor gear, art, and
crafts, this year's feature exhibit will be a Long Island gunning
scooter rig. The event is sponsored by the LI Decoy Collectors
Association, a non-profit organization of decoy collectors and carvers
whose goal is to educate the community about this unique, indigenous
art form.
LIDCA meets on the second Thursday of each month at the
Masonic Hall in Babylon Village and is open to anyone interested in
collecting and carving. Annual dues are $25. Contact Dick Richardson at
475-4199 for more information.
