 The Lakes Committee held their 10th Annual Kids Fishing Derby on July 1, 2023.  Committee members present were Jim Furno (Chairman), Doug Dow (Board Member), Brendan O'Sullivan (Secretary) and Carmine Lisante.  We had an inauspicious start.  Both our scheduled date and rain date (June 24th & June 25th) were rained out and we had to reschedule to Saturday, July 1st.  Unfortunately, there were two other events occurring on the same day and that affected our attendance.  The day itself was cloudy with a 7 mph southerly wind.  The kids did enjoy themselves and caught a lot of fish, including sunny, large mouth bass, perch and surprisingly (we hadn't stocked) catfish.  Each attendant received a "goodie bag" and the four winners, listed below received a Walmart gift card.

Ages 7 and under:  Ava Wendland with a 12-inch catfish.

Ages 8 to 11:  Piper Lowenberg with a 7-inch sunny.

Ages 12 to 14:  Drew Andrew with an 11-inch perch.

Longest fish prize was won by Miner Benedict (7 and under) with a 13-inch large mouth bass.
