Grumpy Old Men

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Ever WISH your man would go fishing, just so you could get his grumpy butt out of the house?

Apparently, you aren’t alone!

The Riverboat Days Festival in Wabasha, Minnesota, plays tribute to grumpy old men, with their Grumpy Old Men fishing contest!

Participants are urged to show up today at 7pm, at “Slipperys” to learn the rules of the fishing contest. The actual contest begins tomorrow, Saturday, July 25th at 6:30am at Ike’s Park. The contest runs til 2:30 and it’s just $5 to sign up.

It’s a nice tribute to the film, Grumpy Old Men, that was partly filmed in the Wabasha area.
