Announcing the Fish House Frenzy!
We are thrilled to announce the Fish House Frenzy, a brand-new 24-hour competition between construction teams to build epic fish houses in support of our efforts to help homeowners in need. Teams from Adolfson & Peterson Construction, Kraus-Anderson Construction and Dunwoody’s Construction Sciences Program will be given a trailer frame and running lights from Ice Castle Fish Houses, but the rest is up to them!
The event will take place in the parking lot of Joe’s Sporting Goods, 33 East County Road B, Saint Paul. The building period will begin at 7 a.m. on Friday, October 17 and end at 7 a.m. on Saturday, October 18. The auction, featuring donated items and two of the completed fish houses, will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 18.
We invite you to join us to watch the building process and enjoy food and beverages. When the construction is complete, the public will be able to tour the fish houses and bid on two of the finished products during a live auction at 10 am on Saturday. The third fish house will be available through a raffle, with tickets on sale at the Frenzy.
More information is available on our website (www.fishfrenzytwincities.org). We hope you’ll join the Fish House Frenzy!

Chris earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Web and Multimedia Environments from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design last year. He is skilled in both graphic design and videography and has extensive experience in working with people of a variety of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
Sabrina has a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from California State University at Northridge. Prior to joining our team, Sabrina served a year as the AmeriCorps Technology Coordinator for Saint Paul Public Housing. She has experience in working with a variety of nonprofit organizations, including the American Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity.
Kyle holds a Bachelor of Arts in Law, Politics, and Society and History from Drake University in Des Moines. He has experience in working for nonprofit organizations, including Catholic Charities, and an interest in working on issues related to affordable housing and the challenges faced by low-income individuals and communities.
This is the seventh year that Rebuilding Together has been awarded an AmeriCorps grant through the Corporation for National and Community Service. The goal of the AmeriCorps CapacityCorps program is to build the capacity of grassroots Rebuilding Together programs so they can be more sustainable, effective, and efficient in helping homeowners in need. Welcome Chris, Sabrina and Kyle!
