Everyone
had a great time at this years Junior Fishing Derby. Over 300 kids
signed up and each one got a free official hat, hotdog, soda and as
many free worms as they needed. Families from all around
were able to attend bring their kids. |

| The kids were the reason for this event and the pond had been stocked with over 200 trout of several types and sizes and contest were held for fish of different sizes. Every few minutes a horn would sound and someone would yell across the lake, "A PRIZE FOR THE NEXT CATFISH CAUGHT!" In a few more seconds you would normally hear someone yell, "FISH!!!" and the helpers who were checking the catch would run over to confirm the prize winner. Sometime the next prize would be for a the next 2 trout or perch or what ever the MC decided. | ||||||||||||||||||||
