We had a wonderful time at our 11th Annual Lions District 27 – D2 “Fishability” event which took place Saturday, June 14th at Genoa National Fish Hatchery. Participants explored the Great River Road Interpretive Center and then were able to fish from an accessible dock donated by Dairyland Power Cooperative, as well as from the shores of an accessible hatchery pond. Thank you so much to all of our Genoa National Fish Hatchery staff, the Friends of the Upper Mississippi, District 27-D2 Lions Clubs of Wisconsin, North American Squirrel Association (NASA), Stoddard Bergen Fire Department EMT and volunteers. This event couldn’t happen without everyone’s help! Thank you!
