We had an awesome day outdoors with Roots to Peaks! Kids got to learn the basics of fishing, practice casting, spend time by the water, and enjoy the simple fun of being outside.

A huge thank-you to our volunteers who helped make this event possible and to our expert angler volunteer John Kwiatkowski from Colorado Parks and Wildlife who shared his time, knowledge, and love of fishing.
