Dam To Dam Ice Fishing Contest Held To Raise Money For Big Brothers And Big Sisters Organization


Ice Fishing Contestants out on Muskegon River - Croton-Hardy Dams Backwaters

It was a great weekend in Croton. The 4th Annual Dam-to-Dam Ice Fishing Contest, a fund raising event to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Newaygo County, officially kicked off Friday evening, February 12th, 2010.


This contest is an annual event to benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Newaygo County.  Held on ‘Michigan's DNR Free Fishing Weekend’  (No Fishing License Required) in February of each year.

And what better way to kick off a dam-to-dam event than with a "Dam She's Hot" contest.  Which my "friends" talked me into entering....geesh, I could be the contest entries mother...needless to say, I was a good sport about it and placed 4th out of 20 beautiful younger contestants...lol.  Take a look at my embarrassing video of the contest below.
