- In addition to hand releasing a sturgeon, sponsors receive a certificate, magnet, and an opportunity to register one of the sturgeon – all the sturgeon are tagged (similar to how pets are micro chipped). If a sturgeon is every captured with your tag number, you’ll be notified!
- This is a family event with children and adult activities, educational displays, and much more! Food will be available for purchase throughout the event.
