Second “casting” call for young fishermen Saturday

34

The final registration day for the 1st Annual Maricopa Parent-Child Fishing Derby presented by Fry’s Marketplace of Maricopa is Saturday, June 11. Registration for the remaining 24 spots will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Santa Rosa Elementary School’s multi-purpose room.

 src=“After the May 21st sign-up date, we had 15 spots left but four families called and cancelled this week due to a change in plans creating nine new openings,” Parks & Rec director Marty McDonald stated.

The Parks and Recreating Department is recommending that interested parents arrive in advance of the 10 a.m. start time to secure a spot in line. According to McDonald, 55 kids registered in the first 20 minutes during the initial registration event.

The Fishing Derby is limited to 100 kids on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all 100 spots are filled, the City will take names and place them on a waiting list. For additional information, contact the PRL Department at (520) 568-9098 ext. 204.
