HOLES 4 HEROES is a special Ice Fishing Contest designed to honor our military, both at home and abroad.
In addition to the traditional prize-filled ice fishing tournament, we also set up a unique “Hole of Honor” which features a live video feed so that families of deployed soldiers can ice fish for free while being linked via video to their beloved soldier.
It is our honor to allow all Military members, both current and former, and their immediate family members to attend Holes 4 Heroes for FREE.
We have some fantastic prizes this year, including many door prizes given away throughout the contest. Prizes are thanks to our generous sponsors such as Clam, Frabill, Aqua-Vu, Strikemaster, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Cabela’s.

You don’t have to be part of the military to join us for this fun event! Non-Military attendees are just $10 for advance registration, or $15 day-of.
