The 7th Annual United Way Ice Fishing Jamboree was held on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 near Stack's Bay boat landing on Lake Minocqua.  This year's event was the most successful ever, 'netting' the most anglers and well as the highest proceeds from a single event in United Way history!  Thanks to all the hard work from local UPS'ers, United Way board members and volunteers & some great contributions from area merchants, we raised more than $9,000!!!  We can't wait to see what 2013 brings!
