'This event this year, especially we actually have gotten some winter weather so we actually have ice on the lake. We have not had that for several years so to be able to do the ice fishing demonstration is something that's really special. Our environmental educator will be showing people all of the equipment they would need and how they could get into that hobby on their own,' she said.
It will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Beach 2 Shelter 4.
