Annual Fishing Derby

Wallingford Rotary held its annual fishing derby and clinic on Saturday June 10th. A bit shout out to our community without whom the event would not be possible and to our Fishing Derby Chairperson, Don Glendenning who once again put together an amazing community event. Some of the day’s highlights:

A few highlights of the day:

  1. We had 50 registered student fisherman ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years old, all where attended by a guardian.
  2. There were approximately 40 plus fish caught between 9 and 12 inches, a few may have missed the measuring station.
  3. We had ten Rotarians attend this morning and  assist from set up to take down. We had assistant for other members with prizes and supplies, once again support from all.
  4. Our grill master, Jay White cooked 120 hotdogs, the official hot dog count between the 50 students and the 10 Rotarians is still be calculated.

Here are some pictures of a wonderful community event, uniting young and the young at heart members of our community, first time fishers and experienced mentors and resulted in a whole lot of fun for all involved.
