  Beginning tomorrow, the 75th annual Federal Duck Stamp art contest will

will begin at 10 a.m. Friday with preliminary judging to begin at 10.30;
final judging occurs on Saturday at 10 a.m. and the winnrer will be
announced around 1 p.m. There are 270 entries with 40 Minnesota artists
represented (!!). Five species of waterfowl are portrayed including Northern
Shoveler, Brant (including Black Brant), Canada Goose, Ruddy Duck, and the
Long-tailed Duck (formerly known as Oldsquaw). This is only the second time
in modern times that the duck stamp has occurred outside Washington so for a
once in a generation chance to see this exciting contest come on down to
Bloomington and buy some duck stamps for conservation. Check out the website
