Ice fishing at Pottery Pond

The Red Wing Rotary Club had a Kid's Ice Fishing Contest this past Saturday. Although I'm not a big fan of ice...or fishing, I am in Rotary and volunteered to help out. Jeremy brought Evan out for the last hour and a half. Although we didn't catch any fish, Evan had a good time - especially after DJ showed up! Eating a fish cookie. We made many treacherous trips across the frozen lake for more hot chocolate and cookies that day.

Watching for fish.

The only fish we "caught" that day was a tiny minnow (someone's leftover bait) that had frozen to the ground. Evan was pretty excited and insisted that we take it home. (We didn't.)
