From Waterfowl calling to Michigan Duck Stamp contest, to a hunting and outdoor recreation expo.
The DNR will host its annual Saginaw Bay Waterfowl Festival at the Bay City State Recreation Area.
The festival focuses on getting families outdoors to appreciate Michigan's ducks and geese, which depend upon the wetlands of the Saginaw Bay Watershed.
Valerie Blaschka is a park interpreter for Bay City State Recreation Area.
It's been attended by about 10,000 people over the weekend the last couple of years. We're hoping just to get families to think about getting outdoors. Maybe duck hunting, maybe taking pictures of waterfowl, maybe looking at ducks and geese and wildlife as a way to express art. We just want people to get outdoors and enjoy Michigan.
Blaschka said, there a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities planned for the festival.
