“Our St. Croix family looks forward to Customer Appreciation Day every year because it’s such a fun way to connect with our anglers, who are at the heart of everything we do,” says St. Croix Vice President of Marketing, Jesse Simpkins. “It’s a chance for us to roll out the red carpet and give anglers all kinds of fun opportunities and reasons to join us here at our factory in Park Falls. Just as we never stop improving our rods, we try to make our family-friendly Customer Appreciation Day an even more rewarding event for our anglers every year.
