Registration for our 6th annual Badges and Bobbers fishing event is open! The event will be held on June 27th from 9 am to Noon at Evert’s Resort.
Our goals for this event include continuing to improve the relationship between the Community and Law Enforcement in Goodhue County. We feel this event is a great opportunity for our Deputies to reach out to the community and open up the lines of communication between our youth and our Deputies.
Second, we hope to establish to the youth of Goodhue County that the Deputies desire to be good role models to them, and we look forward to the youth of Goodhue County being able to interact with our Deputies outside of their uniforms.
Third, many of us at the Sheriff’s Office appreciate fishing and the peace and joy it can bring to our lives. Through this program, we look to be able to not only provide equipment to the youth so they can also find pleasure in this activity, but we hope to be able to teach the youth how to use the equipment while building positive relationships with them. We feel fishing is a healthy alternative to other activities that may be presented to them.
Kids are expected to be accompanied by an adult. All fishing will be done on shore. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
