Pay It Forward 2020
Save the date – Pay It Forward 2020 in Baudette, MN, Lake of the Woods, Walleye Capital of the World, is August 31-September 3, 2020. The 7th Annual Pay It Forward 2020 is a 3 Night/2 Day Fishing Extravaganza 
bringing injured and disabled Veterans to Lake of the Woods to honor, recognize and celebrate the people who have served our country in all branches of the service. It is our desire in creating this event to lead persons to healing and happiness. Many sponsors organize this great opportunity for veterans each year. About 60 participants are treated to guided fishing trips, outdoor fish frys, banquets, speakers, music and accommodations.
Many area resorts and businesses plus fishing companies sponsor the Pay It Forward event by providing funds, lodging and delicious food. It takes many volunteers to make this event happen. Here are some kind words spoken by past attendees. “The Event is a don’t miss summer fishing outing for your bucket list. Great walleye fishing combined with a great cause. What’s not to like?” “This trip was amazing! I can not thank everyone involved enough! We had an absolute blast fishing. Can’t wait to be back up there!”
Pay It Forward 2020 starts out with a Meet and Greet session, dinner and a program at an area resort. The next day Charter Fishing starts out bright and early. That evening dinner and a program will be at another area resort. The second full day will also be charter fishing, ending with our famous fish fry, one of two in the area during the summer months. Veterans of all ages, young and old, male or female are encouraged to attend. Visit www.lakeofthewoodsMN.com/Pay-It-Forward
