44th Annual Old Time Barnegat Bay Decoy and Gunning Show

Description

Saturday September 26th and Sunday September 27th 

Join us as we once again celebrate the rich history of the Barnegat Bay. Exhibitors, demonstrations, and over 50 contests will be offered at TWO locations, Tip Seaman County Park and the Tuckerton Seaport, both located on Route 9 in Tuckerton. Items for sale will include decorative and working decoys, wildlife art and photos, outdoor clothing, hunting and fishing supplies, antiques, hunting guide services, and more. Many environmental and sportsman’s clubs will have educational exhibits, displays, and information. Some of the contests include working and decorative decoy carving, the New Jersey Duck Calling Championship, archery, boat building, and art and photo. Try your hand at skeet shooting, or have a seat and be entertained as puppies and adult dogs compete in the retrieving contests.

A show highlight – the Delmarva Dock Dog Competition - will be featured again, as well. Enjoy activities such as decoy painting, and other family-friendly crafts and games. There will also be scenic boat rides down historic Tuckerton Creek; live music throughout the day; and plenty of food trucks.
