Had a great event today at the Union Sportsman Alliance: Take a kid fishing event. Thank you to Oak Hill Church of the Nazarene and all of the union volunteers here for hosting this event. Thank you to the Union Sportsman Alliance, Ohio AFL-CIO, Southeast CLC, and Shawnee Labor Council for sponsoring this event every year. We were able to give each kid a fishing pole, t shirts, and prizes as well as provide breakfast and lunch. It is such a great time watching these kids some fishing for the first time. Some have come back from last year. Thank you to Jackson Lake and ODNR Wildlife officers showing up and talking to the kids about the fish they caught and getting pictures with them. Awesome day!!
