PAY IT FORWARD VETERANS EVENT
The purpose of the Pay It Forward Veteran’s event is to honor, recognize and celebrate all veterans. This event began back in 2014 and has continued every year since (with the exception of a year off for COVID in 2020). Generous Lake of the Woods resorts, various businesses, organizations and individuals donate to make this fishing trip aboard a charter boat along with lodging and meals at no cost to the veteran. Up at Lake of the Woods, we appreciate all veterans and all who protect and serve. Thank you. For more info and to donate to the Pay It Forward event click below.
