MARQUETTE -- The South Shore Fishing Association is looking for volunteers to help with this year's annual Veterans Fishing Day.
This year's event takes place on Saturday, Aug. 5.
According to the SSFA's news release, the annual event offers veterans the opportunity for a complimentary fishing day followed by a boat parade at the Marquette Lower Harbor put on by volunteer boat captains.
"Currently the SSFA is still looking for more volunteers for set up, serving lunch at the arena and take down," SSFA said in the news release. "We are also looking for community members to line the Lower Harbor when our boat parade comes in."
Boat captains interested in participating can still sign up. According to the news release, to thank boat captain volunteers and offset expenses, each captain will be provided a $100 gas gift card.
