2018 Holes for Poles Fundraiser
The seventh annual Holes for Poles event is set for Saturday February 10th. Community members are invited to Holes for Poles, a fish fry and raffle fundraiser that supports scholarships for students enrolled at the Baudette site for Minnesota State Community and Technical College’s Electrical Line Worker Technology Program. The fish fry is set for 4:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, February 10, at the American Legion in Baudette with the raffle immediately following. Cost is $10 per walleye dinner.
Raffle tickets are $10, and only 1000 tickets are available either at the event or from Outdoors Again, the Baudette Electrical Line Worker Site, North Star Electric or WACF. Several prizes are available with top prizes being a South Dakota pheasant hunt, an open water fishing package from Cyrus Resort, and a Ion 8-inch ice auger.
The Baudette training site accepts 25 students each year and was created in 2010 in response to an industry need for more electrical line workers.
