  • Don Dubin will add his distinctive touch (that’s one of his carvings at the top) for the first time to the North American Vintage Decoy Sporting Collectibles Show through Saturday, April 27, at Westin Chicago Lombard. The world-class carver from Lincolnwood will have about a dozen of his wood carvings there. “We’ll see where it goes,” he said. The room to room bartering, selling, buying and story telling days and evenings beginning is the real gem of the show. Dubin will have his carvings on the 200 level and a table at the show for the general public event on Friday and Saturday. Information on the show is at
