The event is in partnership with City Glass Walleye Tournament at Fortune Bay Resoort and Casino (1430 Bois Forte Rd in Tower). “We’re thrilled to welcome this new Ranger Boats dealer into the fold with TESTRIDE,” George Liddle of Ranger Boats said. “We’ll kick off another great TESTRIDE where folks get to know the boats, the motors and electronic options for a future boat purchase.” Attendees are encouraged to look for the blue TESTRIDE tents to sign up. If a dedicated time and specific model of boat are important to a TESTRIDE participant, look for the Facebook TESTRIDE event page and reserve a spot.
“We’re excited to welcome Ranger Boats and Evinrude to Fortune Bay Casino for TESTRIDE on Vermilion,” said Matt Clines, owner of Timbuktu Marine.
