Magnet Fishing with Right Brain Brewery 12pm-3pm
It's a fishing tournament, Right Brain style! Magnet Fishing. You know, where you throw a big magnet tied to a cable into the water and reel in scrap metal. From scrap metal, to buried treasure, to forgotten history, to hidden secrets, you never know what will turn up on this fishing adventure!
Join Right Brain on Father’s Day weekend for some good old-fashioned family fun and support a great cause while doing it! All proceeds from the collected scrap metal will go toward the Boardman River Clean Sweep.
