The 9th Annual Kentucky Lake Waterfowl Festival returns to Big Sandy, TN on Saturday, August 2nd and we'd like to invite you to attend. Over 70 exhibitors from six states will be on hand with displays ranging from new calls and motion decoys to boats, clothing, ammo, and more.

The festivity will again be held in conjunction with the state's public drawings for duck blinds along Kentucky Lake wildlife management areas, which means a guaranteed crowd!

For the last eight years the event has drawn some 4,000-plus waterfowlers each day to the festival searching for everything from new duck and goose calls to the latest in camouflage clothing, retrievers, taxidermists, boats, motors, outfitters, new trucks, four-wheelers, decoys, and more.

The Kentucky Lake Open Duck and Goose Calling Contests will also be held beneath the shade of big oaks as the waterfowl atmosphere takes over. Contests will be held for youth too!

It's a unique event for exhibitors to display their goods and services in front of their specific market at a very low cost. Our booth space price is very reasonable! Only $100 for uncovered spaces and $125 for covered.

This is a selling show. Many exhibitors have been with us since the start and feel their booth has generated great exposure, not to mention follow-up sales from the Festival visitors.

Hosting the event will be the Paris Ducks Unlimited Chapter. ALL proceeds benefit the ducks and geese as the entire event is run by volunteers donating their time and efforts.

Admission and parking is FREE. The festival hours will be from 7 AM until 3 PM. Exhibitors may set up on Friday afternoon between 1-7 PM.

You may also want to consider an ad in our festival program. Copies will be distributed that day to visitors and business that may want to follow up with you after the event. Business size card rates begin at only $35. Quarter-page rate is $75, half-page is $150, and full-page is $250.

For additional information email < a href=mailto:stevemc@charter.net>Steve McAdams. Or, you may call 731-642-0360. Drop me a note if you'd like a form mailed and/or emailed to you.
