New Podcast Posting: The World Famous Fish House Parade

Some folks go shopping after Thanksgiving. Up north in Minnesota, many would head out to the lakes with winter fish houses.

A few years back a couple of guys were sitting in an Aitkin, Minnesota cafe observing what seemed to be a parade of fishes houses en route to the lakes. Why not have a real parade, they thought.

The “World Famous Fish House Parade” is now a local institution. Some three dozen uniquely and humorously decorated fish houses used for ice fishing during the winter are on parade and on display.

This podacst is a conversation with Sue Marxen from Aitkin about the culture of ice fishing, fish houses as well as the parade.
