The March issue of Minnesota Business magazine, a valuable source of information and insight for growing companies,* provided a fascinating statistic, hard to believe really: 25,000—the number of ice fishing holes drilled last month for an ice-fishing contest on Gull Lake. Minnesota-based StikeMaster Corporation provided the augers. See their video for a demonstration.
Meanwhile (reported on page 44), elsewhere on Gull Lake (far from the 25,000 holes, I hope), Grand View Lodge offered the ideal meeting place for getting away from the office. See this report from our local CBS television affiliate—you will be amazed.
Sadly it seems that spring is nearly sprung so we must now endure 6 months of warm weather before the fun can begin again.
