The western mountain town of Dubois, Wyoming is hosting the 21st annual Wyoming Association of Taxidermy Artists (WATA) convention and show. Although this is a Wyoming show, exhibitors from a multi-state region will attend and display their taxidermy artwork at the Headwaters Convention Center during April 16 -19. On Friday night there will be a banquet and awards ceremony after the artwork is judged by four nationally-known judges. Each judge specializes in a certain field of expertise and will also give seminars on Friday and Saturday.
The general public can vote Saturday on their favorite piece "The Peoples Choice". Although the show ends Saturday night, Dwayne Dewey will put on a Sunday seminar for those participants who decide to stay after teardown on Saturday evening.This show is not only a competition but an educational tool for both taxidermist and the general public. 307-455-3549, 307 455-3548.
