 Another ice fishing extravaganza in Brainerd has come and gone, and while the event is well known for its charitable donations to local areas, people come out for fun every year and also to help contribute to that good cause. Our Taylor Archer has more in this week's Northwest Adventure. The ice fishing extravaganza is known as the world's largest charitable ice fishing event. And their actions have inspired others who want to make the event more special each year. It's all about getting together and planning an event and making it exciting for everybody else that attends the event and making it memorable. Out of the thousands of people on Gull Lake, there were still familiar faces among the crowd. We had to bring it back. Everybody loves it. We have a great time with it. And there were also new faces as members from the Bemidji State Fishing Team volunteered for their first time at the event. We come here and we sold the raffle tickets before the tournament started and now we're here volunteering, helping out with security, walking around, making sure everybody's having a good time. Unfortunately, the fish weren't biting for either of these groups today. We've been on the board, but we've never actually won anything yet. We've done it a couple of times. Okay. We've never caught anything. 410-year-old Stella Davis, this was her first time out for the extravaganza working with her family as one of the several vendors at the event, making it clear that you didn't have to be fishing in order to have fun. It's really fun to be out here, so if you came out, you'd never forget about it. We've got all these people having a good time fishing, big Minnesota, pastime right there, ice fishing on any of these lakes in Brainerd, and just seeing the whole surroundings, we've got all these vendors here, just having a good time. A lot of people come for that, more so than the fishing. In its 27th year, the ice fishing extravaganza has proven to be more than just a competition. For this week's Northwood's adventure, Taylor Archer, Lakeland News. Alright, and that is our Taylor Archer's final news story for us here. She's moving into a different career.
