*  Ever make a foam decoy? The Rappahannock River Waterfowl Show, March 20, is presenting a new competitive division for foam decoy makers and early word says they expect dozens of entries. Foam dekes are built up from insulation panels cut and glued into blocks, then shaped into decoy bodies. Bodies are then covered with canvas or finished with other durable material.
