Fish, frogs, raptors and loons a recipe for fun at Minong Lakes Fair

MINONG – Organizers of the Minong Lakes Fair will be cooking up some fun at the Minong Town Hall on July 25. The recipe for the day includes frogs, fish, some live raptors, a Wisconsin conservation warden and loons. Toss in a free pig roast with all the trimmings at noon and enjoy the feast.

The Lakes Fair starts at 9 a.m. with keynote speaker Department of Natural Resources’ Northern Region Director John Gozdzialski talking about “Remedies for Lakes”. He will be followed by programs on rules of conduct for lake users, frogs, lake fisheries, raptors and other animals, and loons. Visitors can take in booths on wooden lure carving, small boat building and restoration, fly casting, aquatic invasive species, the Wisconsin Public Trust Doctrine and maintaining clean boats to insure clean and healthy lakes.

The free pig roast starts at noon and the event ends with a 50/50 raffle drawing.

"We have combined many fun things to do along with information about fish, birds, animals, and water quality,” said event organizer Tony Tubbs. He added the event is free and open to the public and is especially designed for the whole family.

The Minong Town Hall is west of Minong on Nancy Lake Road a few miles off County I.
