Special shout out to these local youth!
They have spent Monday through Wednesday—putting together 100 fishing poles, stuffing 100 fun goodie bags and then cleaning over 1 mile of shoreline at the Ranger Pond to make Saturday special and easy for our local families to enjoy. It truly takes everyone to make this event successful!

100 fishing poles for the first 100 kids to register!
Registration begins at 7, derby begins at 8!
