(Midvale, WY) – The 12th annual Midvale Benefit Ice Fishing Derby & Raffle drew a large crowd to the Midvale Station Sunday afternoon for the raffle, chili cook-off, derby winners announcement and auction.
This year’s event will support the Winters family; 12-year-old Liam lost a foot in a boating accident on Boysen this past summer.
