NEW THIS YEAR
We hear you! Each year, we listen to feedback in an effort to make our event even more efficient, successful and impactful for everyone. Here are some new features for this years' event:

1. 

We are selling raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three grand prizes,
1. 8x16 Yetti Ice House
2. $1,000 CASH
3. Eskimo Hub 850 XD
The raffle tickets are $20/each and will be sold prior to the event at various locations.
*There will only be 2500 tickets sold*
Checkout our Facebook page for dates and locations or contact us via email to make arrangements for purchase:
beaverclassic2022@gmail.com

 

2.

Time changes -- The tournament start time this year will be 9am and the tournament ends at 3pm. The banquet doors WILL NOT be open until 4pm. This will allow time to pack up fishing gear & get ready for the evening. The doors will be locked to the banquet center for participants until 4pm. See 'Event Details' page for more info.

3.

The cornhole tournament was a huge success last year. We will continue the tournament and add boards so more teams can participate. The tournament will be held at the banquet and will begin after the raffle drawings & silent auction winner announcement. Sign-up for the cornhole tournament on Saturday when banquet doors open at 4pm.

4.

In order to simplify the fish weighing process and in attempt to make the derby more fair to all participants, we are moving back to one fish class which will include walleye, northern, bass, crappie, sunfish, and perch. No rough fish and all fish must be 4" plus to be weighed.
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Cowing Robards Sports in Alexandria, MN for 'Beaver Classic' apparel.
There will be a variety of new clothing options that can be purchased directly through Cowing Robards.
Details with the link coming soon on the Apparel Page. 

5.

We have a more simplified online registration system that will require each participant to register separately in order to have the mandated waiver form signed. This will expedite the check-in process when you arrive.
There is now a separate registration tab for Children and Toddlers so we can continue the tradition of presenting all participating children with a gift at the banquet. We will also be handing out a child swag bag this year!
