This event is an important and positive influence on the children of this community. Our goal is to educate them on the joys of fishing and the dangers of drugs. We want to ensure that the children of Narrows and surrounding communities know that there are far better activities to participate in than drug use.
The first 400 kids will receive a free shirt and gift. There are over 200 golden ticket prizes the will be awarded as well. Trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish caught for both boy and girls for the age groups 3-8 and 9-15. There will also be kids activities for all ages in the Kids Zone which will be open from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM next to the pickleball court under the shelter.

Food will be available from the Narrows Volunteer Fire Department and Scoops Ice Cream. The first 400 kids will get a free ice cream ticket at the gate for a complimentary cool treat from Scoops. Food will open at 10:00 AM.
