Ice fishing season has officially started! 🎣❄️ One of our first planning meetings for the Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza was last night — wings, laughs, and great energy at Schroeder's Home Center.

If you're 18-40 and looking for ways to build leadership skills, meet driven people, and actually give back to your community — this is exactly what we do. We plan events like this one, but it's really about the people you meet and the person you become along the way.
