Grab Your Rod, Bucket and Bait: It's Fishing Derby Time

Camp Dearborn will host its 18th Derby, 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday, June 8. 

Boys and girls between the ages of three and 15 are invited to take part in this 
The fishing competition will be broken into four age categories: three - five 
years old, six - eight years old, nine - 11 years old, and 12 - 15 years old. Prizes will be awarded in each age category for both the most fish caught and the biggest fish caught.

Children can enter the derby free of charge but must register upon arrival to 
compete in their age group. All the young fishermen are asked to bring their own rod, bucket and bait. 

The fishing derby is a popular family event and those planning to participate
