John Godwin, personality on A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” coming to Hickory Mission Minded is pleased to announce that John Godwin from A & E’s “Duck Dynasty,” will be at the Hickory Metro Convention Center on June 7, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. While Godwin is a familiar face to viewers of A & E’s hit show, “Duck Dynasty,” most people are not aware that John Godwin grew up hunting deer with his father but once introduced to the world of waterfowl, duck calls captured his attention. He placed third as a teenager in his first calling contest after Phil Robertson “tuned up” his call to make it ready for competition (Phil happened to be one of the judges). John has worked for Duck Commander since 2002. Some of his duties include, building duck calls, managing supplies and overseeing the shipping department. During the season, however, John’s main title is decoy technician. He figures out the exact spot the decoys should be placed, and works on all equipment after the hunt to make sure it is ready to go for the next day’s hunt. John says, “Working for Duck Commander has been a blessing. I am one of the few full time employees outside the family. I will definitely say that the Robertsons are very giving and passionate people, and I have become family through Christ.” John can be seen on “Duckmen 711,” as well as, “The Art of Commanding Ducks,” “Best of the Duckmen,” and the popular television show “Benelli presents Duck Commander” on Outdoor Channel. An evening with John Godwin is sponsored by Mission Minded. All proceeds go toward local mission projects and the support of local citizens as they carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to various mission fields away from home. Corporate sponsors include Business Data Solutions, Inc., Lark Portable Buildings, and Johnson’s Milling & Feed, Inc. In addition to the General Seating and Premium Seating, a limited number of VIP tickets are available. Discounts will be available for group ticket purchases of 15 or more of the General Seating & Premium Seating. The VIP tickets include a special meet and greet time with John Godwin prior to the show and best seating in the Hickory Metro Convention Center. Tickets for the event are available locally at the Johnson’s Milling & Feed, Inc., Hickory Metro Convention Center, Bows & Ballistics, Lark Portable Buildings, and online at www.ticketor.com/missionminded.
