The Indian name for the lake shouldt have been a clue it was a bad place for a tournament. "Lake That Swallows Your Automobile Even Your Winnebago."

They all fell "sucker" to the "Park here for free"
signs the local high school prankers placed on the ice.

Wait'll they move westward for the eelpout festival @ Walker, Minnesnowta ... as disgustin' as those fish are, they've prolly got the good sense to throw the cars back ... unlike the fisherpersons, who actually keep any "lawyers"* they catch ...
*Affectionate Minnesnowta name for that handsome example of piscatorialness ...
