Audrey’s Purple Dream Fishing Tournament and Polar Plunge

Our biggest and longest running event is the annual fishing tournament and polar plunge on 11th Crow Lake in Akeley, MN. APD is proud to announce our 20th annual event this year! How many fishing contests have you been to that allow you to participate in the comfort of your own fish house? Join us for this unique (and warm) experience. Getting a little too warm and cozy while fishing? Don’t worry, we can remedy that! Get your swimsuit ready and take a refreshing plunge into the lake! We bet there are folks willing to watch you take the jump. Print off a sponsor sheet, raise some money, and even if your toes are cold, your heart will be warmed for this great cause.
