Lakeville Lake Ice-Fishing Tournament
Supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
A Lakeville Classic
Started in 2021, the Lakeville Lake Ice-Fishing tournament put on by Nate and Bri Whipp was an instant hit! The motivational drive for the event is to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research foundation, a foundation Nate and Bri feel strongly about due to personal experiences. At the tournament, you can find the entire Leonard community coming together for great food, cold brews, raffles, and a little fishing
