Brother Martin High School held the 27th Annual Fishing Rodeo & Summer Fest on Saturday, June 20th, in the Backyard at school. Despite the wet and windy weather, alumni, families, and friends of Brother Martin competed for titles in various categories and came out to enjoy the summer fest!
The Packet Pick-Up and Social held at the Brother Martin Alumni and Advancement Office kicked off the event on Wednesday. Fishermen and their guests were able to register while enjoying complimentary sandwiches, beverages, and fishing tips.
On Saturday, Eddie Gonzales '77 served as the emcee and entertained the crowd with music while younger fishermen cooled off on our water slide. Guests also enjoyed live music by The Bean Sprouts, featuring Noah Dobson '27. The Schmidt Family Cooking Team provided delicious fried fish and fries, and the 1997 Cooking Team provided burgers.
Special thanks to Andrew Casadaban '08, Jimmy Casadaban '79, John Gelpi IV '04, and Dennis Gerarve for helping with the weigh-in.
