Fishing experience provides bonding experience for disabled veterans
For the third consecutive summer, Minnesota’s Lake of the Woods will host “Pay It Forward,” a Walleye Master Charity fishing extravaganza that benefits, appreciates and celebrates disabled veterans of all military branches.
This year’s Pay It Forward lasts from Thursday, Aug. 25 through Sunday, Aug. 28.
Kirk Peterson, Wahpeton, is seeking donations to help make it possible for those disabled veterans to enjoy three nights lodging at participating resorts and two days of fishing, guided by Coast Guard-licensed captains in fully equipped charter boats. The veterans’ bus transportation, lodging, fishing and meals are provided, as well as daily and evening entertainment and community events.
