Thin Ice Spearing Decoys

‼️ IMPORTANT SHOW UPDATE! ‼️

I hope you all have been enjoying your summer!

There have been some BIG things happening behind the scenes with the upcoming 2026 Land-O-Lakes Decoy Show!

Unfortunately, the new venue we had lined up for this December canceled on us. It was definitely an unfortunate circumstance—but I wasn’t about to let that stop the show!

So, I went on the hunt for a new location, and I’m now putting the final details together on what I think is going to be a GREAT new home for the show!

📅 December 12th is still the date!

And if everything comes together as planned, we’re taking things to the next level:

• An even BIGGER room
• Everybody together in one room
• A stage
• Bar on site
• Food right next door
• Indoor admission and entry
• More room to grow the show!

I’m extremely excited about what this new location could mean for the future of the Land-O-Lakes Decoy Show.

And that’s not all…

I’ve also been working on a brand-new decoy competition category that I believe is going to become a yearly staple in the wild world of fish decoys!

I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The final details should be hammered out within the coming week, so keep an eye on the page for the official announcement!

In the meantime, head over and check out the Great Lakes Fish Decoy Association. Their show is coming up in about a month, so be sure to support them and make plans to attend!

Check back soon—there’s a lot more coming!

Well here it is! The big reveal of my project I’ve been working on since January!

I have long dreamt about bringing this project to life and finally told myself to pull the trigger… 65 million years in the making, the worlds first T. rex decoy!

I’m currently painting it to display at the 2026 Gathering Decoy Show in Perham.

The Gathering - Perham Decoy Show This will be our 28th year of doing sporting collectibles, art, fish and duck decoys, in a buy-sell-trade format. We also host National Decoy Contests.

Never have I ever made a frog… until now

Rest in Peace Dennis
