Have you seen all the fancy fishing boats in town this week and the last couple of weeks? There are over 250 anglers currently registered for this event and we are very excited to be hosting this National fishing tournament this Friday and Saturday in Red Wing! This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase our beautiful community, engage several volunteers and help our business community with an economic boost in a relatively quiet time of year.
