Without you, this would not be possible. To all of our volunteers - the countless behind the scenes and derby day hours are not unnoticed and are incredibly important to making the day run smoothly. We could never achieve such an event without you! And finally, to all of the families who can out to event today, thank you!!! We would not be able to have this event without you. We truly enjoy seeing the mix of returning participants and new faces. While fishing can be a challenge like any sport, we enjoy watching the stringers come in, the joy of being called for a door prize, and the great atmosphere that you provide!!!

Twas the night before the derby and all through the dam freshly stocked fish are swimming about.
The prizes are ready to make all the kids shout!

The infamous “Derby Dogs” are ready for the grill,
And Mother Nature is finally lifting the chill.

The CCWA volunteers are ready and waiting
To see what’s caught with everyone’s baiting.

Make sure to register under the blue and white tent,
And take chances on raffles to win during the event.

Fishing starts at 9, and, most importantly, HAVE A GREAT TIME!!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at the derby! Thanks to all of our volunteers and donators who have made this event possible.
