 Lake Bemidji will be the site of the inaugural Beaver Freeze Ice Fishing Tournament brought to you by BSU. Organizers want to bring the community and BSU students together for ice fishing, fun and prizes. The event will be held on January 28th at Diamond Point Park at Lake Bemidji. Members of the Outdoor Program Center came up with the idea due to the popularity of ice fishing. They've been preparing staff, gathering volunteers and locating sponsors. An estimated 150 people will take part. In the campus community and the Bemidji community come together to ice fish, it kind of gives everybody one common goal, to catch the biggest fish, win the biggest prize, and it introduces the campus to people who have lived in Bemidji for their whole lives. Grand prizes include ice augers and ice houses. All the proceeds from the event will go to the BSU fishing team.
