In a nutshell….. Eric Fast, part of the Musky Misfits was the big winner of the Chippewa River Custom Rod Casting Contest!
All entrants were treated to a complimentary prime rib dinner, and Angry Minnow Brewing Co & Restaurant took care of all the beer for them!
That was followed by our door prize drawings where we gave away over 50 door prizes for the evening. (and we have 50 more for tomorrow to give away and 50 more for Saturday to give away)!
And don’t get us started on the daily GRAND door prizes! These are drawn out of a separate bucket and lucky entrants have a chance to win BIG TICKET prizes! Check out the pictures to see what they won tonight!
