 It's been going on for the past six years and this year, a new fish house is being featured at the Nielsen's Hardware Ice Castle Fish House Expo going on at the Brainerd Armory. The three-day expo showcases fish houses built not only by Nielsen's hardware, but some not built by Nielsen's. All that are ready to be taken out on the lake. This year, the feature fish house is the Grand Outdoors, a 24-foot long fish house with up-to-date amenities and LED lights. The owner says that while there is a big fish house expo in the Twin Cities, being in Brainerd is something special. They have their big show down in the cities, and that's for the city people. You know, they enjoy that. You know, and a lot of people enjoy going down there, but a lot of people in rural Minnesota, they don't want to go down in the cities. And Brainerd is kind of centrally located. And of course, it's a great area up here for fishing. There's a lot of fishermen up here, a lot of lakes. So for those people who don't like going down in the cities to that big show, they can come up here to Brainerd, and it's a little bit more central Minnesota here. The expo runs through tomorrow at the Brainerd Armory. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
