Volunteer Activities Coming Up: This summer we will need help for the Waterski Days Activities and also the Wabasha Fair Kid's Peddle Tractor pull. These are both important activities. With the peddle pull we provide a very healthy activity for the families of Wabasha County, and the Work we do on Waterski Days is one of most important fund raisers for the club and helps make this annual event the great time it is getting to be. Save some time to help, there are always many different ways for everyone to help.
