Parents and children gathered at Covey Creek Farm to celebrate the outdoors with Chattanooga Ducks Unlimited. In addition to activities and demonstrations such as skeet shooting, archery, fishing, shooting BB guns, dog training and animal calling, the festival also featured an inflatable slide, a mountain bike course and an appearance from the Catoosa County Fire Department. The event included lunch and plenty of giveaways, and the first 300 children to arrive received a special gift or a varsity membership to Ducks Unlimited.
