Karen Wilson said, " The next morning, bright and early, the annual Kids Fishing Derby takes place at Jo Allyn Lowe Park. The kids will be fishing from 9 to 11. Make sure everybody understands that you need to bring your own bait and tackle. And a parent is helpful. So kids bring a parent." She added, "We start registration at 8.30am. We have age groups 3 to 6, 7 to 9, and 10 to 12."
Boy Scout Troop 6, headed by Charles Lewis, will be measuring the catches. Karens said,"We keep track of everything so that we know how to appropriately award the prizes."
