Nationally Sanctioned Duck Calling Competitions

Duck Callers and fans of the sport will be glad to know that the CCAA (Callmakers & Collectors Association of America) Reelfoot Lake Working (Hunting) Call Contest and the Reelfoot Lake Grand American Duck Calling Championships will both be held during the festival. Duck Callers of all ages and specialties will find a place in this year's competitions. Awards and Prizes will be awarded in many categories with exact amounts to be announced soon.

Reelfoot Style Metal Reed Calling Competitions

As in years past, the RLCC will conduct a Reelfoot Style Metal Reed duck calling contest. This competition is open to anyone blowing a metal reed duck call. However, the style of calling will be judged against the traditional Reelfoot Style of calling ducks.

As an added bonus, in celebration of the festival's 20 th anniversary, we will conduct a Champion of Champion's Reelfoot Style Metal Reed calling competition. All living past winners of the metal reed contest at the previous 19 festivals and this year's winner will be invited back to blow in this competition. The winner takes home a nice plaque commemorating the first champion of champions and $500.

Once again at this year's festival, we will have a Duck Call and Sporting Collectibles Auction that will be held on Friday, October 10th, 2008 at 6PM on the main street in Samburg, TN with a fish fry beginning at 4PM. Many different types of sporting collectibles and duck calls will be available and some great deals are sure to be found.
