The Lake Minnetonka Crappie Contest has been a cherished spring tradition for 53 years. However, for reasons unknown, the previous ownership decided to discontinue the event. Several of our board members, who participated annually, recognized the chance to continue making a positive impact on the community through fishing, fun, and memorable experiences. This event has the capacity to welcome over 1,000 attendees of all ages, with a primary focus on engaging children. Our aim is to ensure that every child receives a complimentary fishing rod.

We envision a day filled with interactive games and activities for kids and families to enjoy. Additionally this event will help MMO generate revenue for our organization. We also plan to invite other organizations and supporters to join us. Similar groups will be welcome in the vendor area to showcase their offerings and promote their missions. This event serves as an excellent platform to demonstrate that we are all working together rather than competing against one another.
