WWA has been blessed to have received a number of antique decoys from the family of Jim Wicks, a decoy carver and collector from Minnesota who recently passed away. The family donated the antique decoys for use as a fund raiser for WWA.

Watch your constant contact email that you will be receiving soon (starting in May) for a chance to submit an email bid on decoys on a monthly basis. Photos and a brief explanation of the age of the decoy, providence (if known) and the carver information will be included.

This is a great time to either add to your collection or start your own collection with some highly collectible hand carved and factory carved decoys. And, your winning bid supports all of our programs at WWA! Stay tuned…
