If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck in the Castine Center this weekend, it's probably a masterfully-carved decoy. The annual Louisiana Wildfowl Carvers & Collectors Guild Festival will bring hundreds of carvers from around the globe to Mandeville. The extensive list of categories include ducks, songbirds, fish, caricatures, wildlife, interpretive art, and more. There's an auction, live decoy carving demonstrations, decoy painting contest, and a head whittling contest. Arts and crafts exhibitors will also set up in the Castine Center, and vendors will be on hand to sell carving and painting supplies. $5; free for children younger than twelve. 9 am–5 pm. lwccg.com.
