You'll be able to fish until 7:00 PM..."Fun Food" at the fire pits-For the "do-it-yourselfers" or the frugul minded... we will have snacks, hot dogs and the makings for s'mores available and for sale at our service counter... Or after 7:00 PM we will make exception... families and friends are welcome to bring their own "fun food" to cook over the fires- bring your own grills if need be!

Smokin' Good Fireworks Extravaganza!
Just before dusk we will stoke the fires, settle about the pond and wait for the fireworks to come on with a BANG! ...

This is a fish farm & community sponsored event ! 
The Fishfarmer's Daughter is the organizer... Because fireworks purchased early are a lot better deal- more bang for our buck! Amy is requesting pledges and donations by June 15th if at all possible! Email pledges to fishfarmersdaughter@eatmyfish.com    or jus t send her a check- N1321 Bullfrog/566 st. Menomonie, WI 54751.

*Update-

Rody tells me his friend Cal will be accompanying him this day!

Cal is one of the 2nd generation of great dobro players. His notoriety reaches back into the 70’s and out of his musical endeavors with folks such as Josh Graves, the Sorry Muthus (a great blues band of yester year) Leo Kottke and the Garrison Show…

This Rody and Cal combination will definitely be a great musical opportunity and source of enjoyment at this Dunn County gathering!!
