The Duck Dynasty A&E series family and stars have made public appearances over the weekend, flaunting their beards to wherever their duck-hunting instincts have led them to.

The Duck Dynasty Boys: Uncle Si, Willie, and Jase, were rocking Comerica Park this weekend as they were invited to a sold-out MotorCity Casino performance.

BlessYouBoys reported that the three bearded men were asked to throw out the first pitch.

"The sellout crowd at Comerica recognized them as they walked onto the field because their long beards quickly catch your attention. They also were wearing Tigers home uniform tops and baseball caps," wrote Fox Sports Detroit's Steve Kornacki. "Willie, of course, wore his standard stars-and-stripes bandana. Many of the fans gave them a standing ovation as they strode to the mound."

In an interview, Jase shared that the crowd really made their day with their warm welcome to the Duck Dynasty stars.

"That was some great welcome we got," Jase said. "The crowd was awesome."  

Jessica and Jep Robertson were also out and were reportedly hitting Las Vegas as they joined the crowd in the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

E! Online reported that the two Duck Dynasty stars were tasked to introduce Keith Urban to the crowd.

In an interview, the couple shared that they were looking forward to seeing the iHeartRadio stage, adding that aside from presenting Keith Urban, they are also excited to see Muse.

"We love country," his wife chimed in so I'm excited to see them too," Jessica said, adding, "Indie bands. We like the blues. We like it all really. Not any one better than the other. We like everything."

On the other hand, Jep said he likes all types of music, and that his playlist is not merely limited to country.

"I do like a lot of country, but I love the Black Keys, Jack White," he said.

The Duck Dynasty couple also reportedly joined a two-day Christian Music Festival in Shippensburg on Sept. 21, where they shared their family stories while relating their experiences with their faith.

"I was super excited, especially when I saw we were going to be with all these Christian bands out here. We weren't expecting the rain but it turned out it didn't dampen anybody's spirits and we're happy about that," Jessica said in an interview with PennLive after the meet-and-greet with their fans.

"Up to this point, I have got nothing but positive feedback. It's almost like I think a lot of people are getting back to their Christian roots, you know? Having dinner with their family, praying over dinner - I hear that everyday. Everyday someone says that's their favorite part of the show," Jep said when asked how the public has reacted to their Christian ways presented on their show.

Meanwhile, Duck Dynasty's "Mountain Man" or Tim Guraedy will not out in the mountains next weekend, but will apparently be in North Jefferson County Saturday for the Cornerstone Ranch Family Festival.

The famous neighbor of the Robertsons, who is the only regular character technically not related to the family one way or the other, is to bring his famous drawl to the Cornerstone Ranch, a non-profit Christian organization advocating the need of recreational activities and devotion in order for kids to nurture self-esteem, character and faith.

Cornerstone Ranch will be hosting the Family Festival on Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

AL.com reported that there will be a meet and greet with "Mountain Man" and there will also be a contest inspired by the hit A&E series called the "Duck Dynasty" Look-A-Like Contest.

The Duck Dynasty stars are definitely fully-booked during weekends, but it's nice to see that they really make sure that they spend it with their fans.

When E! Online asked Jessica how they felt about their show's success at the iHeartRadio Festival she said, "It's definitely a blessing."

"Four years ago, I was just a stay-at-home mom with four babies and sewing and doing little trades. I was a realtor and did little things along the way, and now we're here and it's surreal. Time's passing so quickly and we're trying to balance it all," Jessica added.
