One of my favorite shows of the year, the Henry Decoy Show, is from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe. The 57th Henry Decoy Show leads Go & Show this week.
It’s not just the visuals (duck decoys, other waterfowl carvings, bird carvings, books) of the show, but the hum of the show punctuated with duck and goose calls. Probably not a show for everyone, but I find the eclectic mix seductive. Yes, you should be home in time for the Big Game.
