Kids Ice Fishing Event Planning

We will be bringing back the Kid’s Ice Fishing event at McNally Landing on Saturday, January 28, 2023. We will hold a planning meeting on Thursday, January 12 beginning at 4:15 p.m. at the Refuge office (102 Walnut Street, Suite 205, Winona). Anyone interested in helping with the event is welcome to attend the meeting, however, a call for volunteers to work the event will come at a later date. The meeting will focus on several items including:

1. Tent/heater rental
2. Food/beverages
3. Participant take-home items
4. Shuttle/parking needs
5. Activities other than fishing
6. Volunteer needs including prep, set-up, and day-of event

We could use some brainstorming ideas on wisely using funds received as memorials for Friends member and volunteer Eldon Skurdahl who recently passed away. We also have funds available from the League of the Ridiculous in LaCrosse which can be used for this event.

Hope to see some of you at the meeting!
