ALEXANDRIA BAY, New York (WWNY) – Bitterly cold weather and a pandemic? That’s not stopping the annual ice fishing derby in Alexandria Bay Saturday.
The fire department’s 23rd annual derby is set to go. One difference: the event will be partly virtual, meaning you’ll use your phone.

There are two ways to register: in person at the fire department at 7 AM to 11 AM Saturday, or through Venmo.
To use Venmo, send your registration fee with your phone number. The fire department will reply with your registration number. Venmo to: AlexandriaBay-FireDepartment.
Adults can register for $10, kids for $5.
The prizes include a top prize of $2000, and a total of over $15,000 in prizes.
