The annual Free Kids Fishing Derby was recently held at Spring Lake Park in Greene County and organizers are calling it a success.

Greene County Conservation Director Tanner Scheuermann says about 80 youth, from ages four through 15, participated this year and each kid received a free fishing pole. He points out there was about $3,000 of donations and lots of great prizes were given away for each age group, along with more free items to all participants. The fishing derby took place on Sunday, June 9th.

Scheuermann thanks everyone who participated and all donors for their generosity to make this event a success.
