Fishing for Trophies
With so many of the festival activities taking place on the shores of Wolf Lake, why not include a Fishing Derby? The 11th Annual Fishing Derby gives people a chance to come out and compete for prizes in two divisions for landing the largest bass, walleye, perch and pan fish. This event costs a mere dollar and proceeds are used to support the Wolf Lake stocking program.
Children’s Entertainment
