7th Annual Kid Fish Event 2010

Come out this Saturday, Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Lakeside Park on Pearl Street behind The Sports Shack. This is the seventh year that the city recreation department has sponsored Kid Fish, a fishing event for families and kids ages 1 to 16. This year there will be a new catch...more than 700 rainbow trout are waiting to be caught! Normally this type of beautiful fish is not available in this area. Fishing will be the main activity of the day, but there will also be raffles, cooking demonstrations and other interesting things to keep participators entertained. There will be various prizes for the participants for largest string, largest trout and smallest trout, there will be prizes for every age group. Participants are greatly encouraged to keep any trout caught due to the fact they will die when it gets warm outside. There will also be trout recipes and demonstrations by Nacogdoches Naturally on a Dutch oven at the park if participants wish to cook their catch. The event is FREE and the bait will be provided!! Last year 300 kids enjoyed the event and the recreation center is hoping for the same if not an even better turn out.
