We're at it again!  Putting on our annual ice fishing jamboree ~ coming up this Saturday at Donner's Bay Resort on the beautiful ~ frozen over ... Turtle Flambeau Flowage.  Hard to believe that it's our 8th year already.

'The Turtle Flambeau Flowage is a result of the 1926 construction of a dam to create a reservoir. The Turtle Flambeau Dam harnesses the power of the Turtle and Flambeau Rivers to generate energy for the Flambeau Paper Corporation, located 20 miles south on the Flambeau River in Park Falls. The dam created 19,000 acres of water with 212 miles of pristine winding shoreline. The Turtle Flambeau Flowage encompasses 16 natural lakes, three rivers and several creeks...' from turtleflambeauflowage.com

I'm busy prepping for the day:
Today I did some grocery shopping to make up 2 Nesco roasters each of Calico Beans, Chili and BBQ's.  The fresh hometown made bratwurst are made and ready thanks to Fifield Grocery and Whiskey Ridge has the homemade hotdogs and hamburger patties made up  and ready for Chef Slim to throw on the grill.  I also have a few pies to put together for the pie auction ... yes, we're  busy but it's all for a great cause.

Tomorrow the big heated tents will go up and Saturday morning the fish registration and raffle tables will be open for business. 

Once again, we have some fantastic prizes ~ here's what you can win off the Green Ticket this year...





 Plus there are prizes for each fish category - and prizes off the raffle tables ... TONS of chances to WIN!  More info on the fisheree can be found on the JPDWarrior website.  Take a peek! 

If you're in the area ~ please stop by and say hi.  I'll be the crazy lady running around barking orders like I know what I'm talking about! HA!!

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
