Prizes and trophies will be given out and everyone has a chance to win. \nDon’t let this opportunity to create lifelong memories for your kids pass by. Each year\, members of Lakeville High School Fishing team cut approximately 100 holes in the ice for this event and serve as volunteers helping measure fish as they are pulled out of the lake. Participants need to bring their own fishing equipment and bait. This event is great for the whole family! Should you get a little chilly\, warm yourself by the bonfire with a cup of hot cocoa.

SUMMARY:2023 Buck Concert Series: George Thorogood And The Destroyers
DESCRIPTION:Buck Hill is excited to announce today the 2023 Buck Concert Series artist line-up. The much-loved event is back this fall so get ready to make memories that last a lifetime. This year’s trio of national headliners will take the stage at the iconic Buck Hill over the course of three days for an unparalleled live outdoor music experience\, September 14-16. The venue\, considered the best kept secret by music-goers in the Twin Cities\, will provide fans a one-of-a-kind intimate experience not to be missed. \nBy reverently reinventing obscure blues\, country and R&B tracks by musical icons via now-classic hits like ‘Who Do You Love?’\, ‘Boogie Chillun’ and ‘Move It On Over’ – George & The Destroyers have kept the music American master alive. And with his own smash originals such as ‘I Drink Alone’\, ‘Gear Jammer’\, and the ultimate badass anthem ‘Bad To The Bone’\, Thorogood and his band have forged a one-of-a-kind career built on fervor and six-string swagger delivered with equal parts fire and fun. For Thorogood\, the 50th Anniversary Tour is proof that nice guys can finish first even when they’re the baddest of the bad. As Thorogood says. “Our heart and soul have been in this from day one\, and I think audiences have always respected that. Maybe that’s why we’ve never gone out of style.”

SUMMARY:2023 Buck Concert Series: Drive-By Truckers with American Aquarium and Gear Daddies
DESCRIPTION:Buck Hill is excited to announce today the 2023 Buck Concert Series artist line-up. The much-loved event is back this fall so get ready to make memories that last a lifetime. This year’s trio of national headliners will take the stage at the iconic Buck Hill over the course of three days for an unparalleled live outdoor music experience\, September 14-16. The venue\, considered the best kept secret by music-goers in the Twin Cities\, will provide fans a one-of-a-kind intimate experience not to be missed. \nDBT has built its wildly dedicated fanbase through electric live shows\, more than two decades of near constant touring and its special brand of Southern rock laced with urgent\, poignant\, and progressive political themes. The band’s 2022 release and their 14th studio album\, ‘Welcome 2 Club XII’ spurred the veteran rockers to turn inward and shoot from the hip musically. The title is a nod to the venue where founding members Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley performed at the start of their careers. This band has every intention of continuing to bring their hard-rocking musical style to packed venues everywhere.
