FISHING OPENER GETS CLOSER

The Minnesota Governor's Official Fishing Opener in Breezy Point and Pequot Lakes is less than ten weeks away. Event co-chair Dr. Ryan Buell wants you to know you can still help sponsor the event. Buell said the sponsorship levels run from a minimal amount to $20,000 or higher. Buell said "cash is king but there are a lot of things needed to put on the event that can use your trade or in-kind labor." Dr. Buell said the sooner a sponsor gets involved in the event, the more publicity for their business, but there really isn't a final deadline because sponsorships can be added right up until the opener. Buell said the event will need hundreds of volunteer as well. To get more information on-line, bring up the web site www.explorebrainerdlakes.com or call Dr. Buell's office at 568-7767.
