Magnet Fishing is where you throw a big magnet tied to a cable into the water and bring up 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 Brewery and the Boardman River Clean Sweep 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 BRCS.
