FREEMAN FISHING DERBY CANCELED

Because of rain, the 2024 Freeman Fishing Derby scheduled for Saturday morning, June 15, has been canceled. This is the first time in the 20-year history of the event that it has been called off due to weather. The derby was not held in 2020 and 2021 because of Covid-19 and struggles in lining up volunteers.
