Thanks to our partners at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), the ponds will be freshly stocked with catfish and bluegill, giving young anglers a great chance to make a big catch!
Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 anglers in each age category, so bring your best fishing game!

We are looking for experienced anglers to volunteer during the event to assist kids with baiting hooks, casting, and learning the basics of fishing. If you’re interested in volunteering, we’d love to have you join us!
