We want to thank UpNorthLive for sharing the story of Michigan Iced Over, MiOFO’s first annual ice fishing tournament in Gaylord.
The article highlights how this event was created to help bring veterans, individuals with health challenges, families, and friends together for a fun day outdoors during the winter season. With ice fishing, prizes, raffles, a silent auction, dinner, and time spent with others, Michigan Iced Over is about more than fishing — it is about connection, camaraderie, and giving people a reason to get out, enjoy the outdoors, and feel supported.
At MiOFO, we know that winter can be an isolating time for many veterans and individuals facing health challenges. Events like Michigan Iced Over help extend outdoor adventures into every season and create opportunities for people to reconnect with nature, spend time with others, and make meaningful memories.
