Lake West Chamber Kids Fishing Derby This Weekend
If you’re looking for something to do with the younger kids this weekend, then the 14th Annual Fishing Derby being put on by the Lake West Chamber of Commerce just might do the trick.
“We’d love to see about 100 kids out there. It’s free to fish. All we ask is that you do have to have a parent with you and you do need to have a life jacket and a fishing pole and come on out and we’ll get you signed up.”
Chamber Director Mike Koenigsman also says bait will be provided and prizes will be awarded.
The fishing derby is taking place at Captain Ron’s on Sunday, which is also Grandparents’ Day.
