Donate Your Carp at the Des Moines Ikes to Support SOAR!
Saturday June 13, noon to 2 p.m. Even though CarpFEST 2020 has been cancelled you can still donate your fresh or frozen carp to assist SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources) in feeding the birds and raptors they rehab and release back into the wild! Just drop off your carp at the Des Moines Izaak Walton League on Saturday June 13 from noon to 2 p.m. Who ever brings in the longest length of fish will receive an Annual DSM Izaak Walton League membership! We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you in 2021 when we resume our tournament! If you have questions please call 515-971-2924.
