Carvers, collectors and those with an appreciation for local folk arts with centuries-deep roots in the area are encouraged to attend the New Jersey Decoy Collectors Association’s 30th annual Decoy, Art and Hunting Collectibles Show at Stockton University on Saturday, April 6. This year’s event will celebrate featured decoy carver William Hammarstrom.
Hammarstrom is a man of considerable accomplishment. The duck hunter, decoy carver, gunning guide, saw mill operator, boat builder and fishing boat captain is described by his peers as “the real deal.”
Born in 1953, Hammarstrom is a lifelong resident of Waretown who is proud of his Scandinavian heritage.
