Mark your calendars for the Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 30th annual Saratoga Ice Fishing Derby. Angler’s will have an opportunity to compete for the $2,000 first prize for catching the largest fish during the two-day derby, Jan. 19 and 20.
While competing for over $7,000 in cash prizes, fishing skills will be on display.
Hourly cash awards of $100 will be awarded for the largest fish measured that hour.

Sam Platts has been living his dream of being a professional musician since he left Saratoga over three years ago.
In 2009, Platts moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to be closer to his parents.
Since that time he has performed in several bands including the band he is traveling with this winter.
