Moms & Minnows

Celebrate Mother's Day with more than just a morning on the water. This year, we are elevating the annual derby into a full-day, immersive event at the beautiful Gemstone Farm.

While the $80 registration fee covers the competition, it also unlocks an exclusive "Gemstone Experience" that makes this day truly special for the whole family.

What Your Registration Includes:

• The Derby: Entry into the fishing tournament with the chance to take home cash prizes and trophies.

• The Post-Derby Brunch: Once the lines are up, join us for a full, catered brunch. It’s the perfect way to relax and celebrate the morning’s catches with a great meal.

• Farm & Garden Access: The experience continues beyond the pond. The farm animals will be out to visit, and the gardens will be fully open for a peaceful stroll.

• Full Event Access: Your fee covers the total experience—fishing, food, and farm exploration—ensuring a memorable Mother's Day from start to finish.

This isn’t just a fishing tournament; it’s the “reel deal” for a complete family outing. We can’t wait to see you there for an amazing day of community, nature, and competition!
