I would like to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s Open Waterfowl Show. The accomplishments of our event are a testament to our sponsors, exhibitors, clerks, and judges. We had a decent turnout, with 141 waterfowl entries from 41 exhibitors, even though this was our first full year with the species. For everyone asking, we do hope to expand to include geese next year as well!
For those unfamiliar with our Open Waterfowl Show, it's a good stepping stone into the show world. Exhibitors submit photos of their ducks, which are then carefully judged by licensed experts. The event offers a competitive environment for participants, and we are proud to support both seasoned and emerging exhibitors as they hone their skills and share their dedication to waterfowl.
We are pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Open Waterfowl Show. Please take a moment to scroll down to see who has earned top honors, and do not forget to like and comment on the post to show your support for these talented exhibitors and their exceptional waterfowl.
This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, including Champion's Blend, 3F Farms, and Misfit Homestead MI.
