Kids Fishing Tournament

Get ready to reel in some fun at our upcoming Spring Kids Fishing Tournament! This event is for youth ages 15 and under. Young anglers will be divided into three age brackets for the competition: 0-5, 6-10, and 11-15. Participants can win prizes for the biggest fish, the smallest fish, and the most fish caught. Each fish caught must be brought to the designated measuring station one at a time. After measurement, the fish will be released back into the lake.

For a registration fee of $10, each young angler will receive a bucket, bait, and an assortment of snacks and refreshing beverages will be available throughout the morning. Pre-registration is recommended but walk-up registration will be available on the day of the tournament. Registration will open at 7:00 a.m. Fishing begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. and will end at 11:00 a.m. Prizes will be handed out at 11:30 a.m. Winners must be present to accept the prize.

Free To Play: Tricky Ways

Join us this Thursday from 4-6PM to play Tricky Ways free of charge! Watch the event video for full details (link above).

ABOUT THE GAME
Tricky Ways is a unique, kinetic strategy game for 2-4 players. The game itself consists of blocks with holes and channels that can be linked to form pathways for a marble to roll. The objective is to create the longest pathways to the outer edge of the board by rearranging a limited number of blocks on your turn. The longer the path, the more your player piece advances around the board, with the winner having had their piece cover the most distance.
