Governor's Fishing Opener Gets Closer

This will be the fourth time that Breezy Point/Pequot Lakes has hosted a Governor's Fishing Opener. Breezy Point Resort General Manager Dave Gravdahl remembered the earlier events were worthwhile, fun events for everybody involved. Gravdahl said the first 1970 event featured Governor Harold LeVander and lots of area guides like Max Slocumb and Harry Van Doren, The Lindners and Marv Koep were all part of the 1970 opener. Gravdahl said the 1981 opener featured Governor Perpich. The 2001 opener with Governor Jesse Ventura drew reporters from Japan. Governor Pawlenty will preside over this year's opener. The organizing committee will probably be looking for sponsors and volunteers until the day before the event, May 9th and 10th. If you can help, contact Ryan or Patty Buell at 568-7767.
