Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with the Crown Casting Club, Outside for a Better Inside and Walmart, is hosting a fishing derby for anglers ages five years-old to 13 years-old.
The Kids Fishing Derby invites young anglers to test their fishing expertise at Mary’s Lake, 2730 Harper St. Anglers are asked to bring their own fishing poles and bait.

The derby will be held 8:30 a.m.-noon, Saturday, June 8, with a pre-derby meeting being held at 8:30 a.m. The derby is free and open to the public.
Prizes will be given away in fish categories. Registration forms can be found at: https://assets.lawrenceks.org/lprd/specialevents/kidsfishingderby19.pdf. Please bring registration forms filled out to save time; however, they may also be filled out onsite.
