ICE FISHING
The ice fishing at Lake of the Woods was phenomenal. We left January 31st and returned on February 2. There were three people to a fish house, with a guide, J.P. Tessier (Lake of the Woods Outdoorsman), popping from one fish house to another in order to help us out. The Social Studies teacher, Czech, took a total of five students: Jacob, Austin, Leona, Alex, and Justin. Three of the students were avid fishermen, while two were first timers. We spent a total of one night and one day fishing on Lake of the Woods, where we caught a plethora of sauger and walleye. Altogether, the students caught roughly-fifty five fish, bringing home fifteen to devour with their classmates upon returning to school. POLARIS INDUSTRIES Polaris was amazing. It was like being a kid in a candy store! There were a bunch of big toys like four wheelers, side by sides, and snow machines. We were given a tour for about an hour and a half, learning it takes a bunch of people to run the business. The coolest thing we saw was the four wheeler assembly line, each person adding something new as it traveled down the line. MARVIN WINDOWS Just the Visitor’s Center for Marvin Windows contains 6,000 square feet of artifacts and interactive exhibits. They are the world’s largest manufacturer of made-to-order doors and windows, and they are located in Warroad, Minnesota.. They been in business for more than 100 years. We were given a guided tour, by a thirty-year veteran turned tour guide, of the ten acre facility! The size of the property was ridiculous! In fact, they even have their own clinic. Our final stop was “The Shed,” where we toured through an exhibit of classic cars. The Shed contains all of Bob Marvin’s private collection of classic cars, ranging anywhere from Model T’s to the newest concept cars. By: Austin Beach & Jacob Peterson
