Editor:
On Saturday, May 17, the Kennebunk Fish and Game Club held its 15th annual Youth Fishing Derby at Rogers Pond in Kennebunk. This year, 116 children, ages 2 to 15 years old, participated. With the support of our generous sponsors, we were once again able to offer the event, free of charge, while awarding trophies, great prizes, and treating each child to a hot dog, soda and grab bag.
We would like to recognize and thank each of the following businesses and friends who showed their support in sponsoring this year’s event:
Cole-Harrison Agency; Mann Memorial Veterinary Clinic; member Jeff McCulloh; Cummings Market; Mark and Wendy Lank; members Vince and Susan Christinziano; Country Kitchen Bakery in Biddeford; Kennebunk Light and Power; Wells Dunkin Donuts; Goodrich Insurance; Ocean Bank; Kennebunk Parks and Recreation; member Hans Olsen; Arundel Market; 4 Corners Market and Deli; Razor’s Edge; Saco Bay Guide Service; Pierce Associates and Shy Beaver Hatchery; E Medi/ GO Development.
Special “thank-yous” to our friends at the Kennebunk Parks and Recreation Department for their support, to Sonny Pierce of Pierce Associates for delivering another fine group of brookies, to Kennebunk Light and Power and EMedia for providing parents a place to park, and County Kitchen Bakery. We also thank the Kennebunk Post for listing our event in their publication.
This annual family event would not take place without the support of those listed above and our hardworking members and volunteers. See you next year!
Alayna Laprel, chairman
Fishing Derby Committee
