Kids Fishing with First Responders
Grab the kids and your fishing gear and join us for a “fin-tastic” day of fishing and fun at our Annual Fishing with First Responders, a FREE Fishing Derby for kids! This exciting event is casting the net to bring smiles to young faces and create unforgettable memories.
Date: Saturday, August 16, 2025
Times: 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

- 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
- 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
- 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This FREE fishing derby is exclusively designed for children from ages 0 to 15, providing them with a unique opportunity to experience the joys of fishing in a safe and supportive environment. The pond will be stocked with over 400 catfish, and there will be some Giveaways for the kids during the event, too!
Your professional firefighters and police will be on hand to ensure everyone’s safety and provide guidance and assistance to budding anglers throughout the event. From casting techniques to knot tying, we’ll share our expertise and passion for fishing, helping your youngsters learn valuable skills while having a blast.
But that’s not all! Beyond the thrill of fishing, there will be plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy, including snacks and BBQ throughout the day, ensuring your young anglers stay energized and hydrated during their fishing adventures.
