At Brad Deery Motors and Brad Deery Ford, we believe being part of a community means more than selling vehicles. Instead, we believe in supporting local families, encouraging kids, and creating experiences that leave lasting memories. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the 2026 Kid’s Day Fishing Expo hosted by the Mississippi Walleye Club.

This incredible event gives children from the Dubuque area the chance to spend a day on the Mississippi River with local pro anglers. During the event, kids can fish, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors. For many children, the experience creates memories they will never forget.

Pro-fisherman and salesman Zach Broders

One of the coolest parts for us this year is seeing our own Zach Broders participate as one of the Pro Fishermen. 🎣 As part of the Brad Deery Motors sales team, Zach has a huge passion for fishing and the outdoors. Because of that, this event holds special meaning for him. We also love seeing our employees take part in events that matter to them personally.

Supporting Kids, Families, and Community Through Outdoor Experiences

Over the years, the Kid’s Day Fishing Expo has created amazing opportunities for local children and families. In addition, the event brings people together and encourages kids to spend more time outside. Young anglers can learn from experienced fishermen while also building confidence on the water.

Community involvement continues to play a major role at Brad Deery Motors and Brad Deery Ford. Throughout the year, we support local schools, youth activities, charities, and family-friendly events across Eastern Iowa, Northwest Illinois, and surrounding communities.

Events like this represent what matters most to us. Not only do we want to support programs that help families and encourage kids, but we also want to strengthen local communities. Equally important, we want to support causes that matter to our employees and customers.

We truly appreciate the Mississippi Walleye Club and everyone who helps organize this event each year. Their hard work creates an unforgettable experience for local kids and families. Thanks to their dedication, children across the area can enjoy a fun and educational day on the river.

We look forward to supporting more community events like this in the future.
