Please make note of our event MAP on our event and information below for our event. -- If you attended in the past, the check-in location has changed to encourage everyone to be safe and cross at the crosswalk. Use sidewalks and the trail as needed.
.
I have 200 kids registered, so at this time my event is at capacity. If we have a handful of people who don't show, walk-ins will be welcome at 8:00 AM. Because of this we ask that parents/guardians space themselves a little further back from the ponds, to allow all the children to fish around the ponds. Feel free to bring your coolers with snacks and goodies and don't forget to bring chairs/blankets. This is a kids event, so please no alcohol. *Extra water station will be at our main sponsor, Angie Imlah of RE/MAX Plaza
.
Parking will be in the lot of Fort McHenry or in the neighborhood next to. There is no street parking. Try to car pool as much as possible to allow ample space for people to park.
.
We will be fishing in the first 2 ponds. Their are 4 total ponds, and the 3rd does have some fish, but the stocked fish are in the first 2 thanks to McHenry Parks and Recreation Department.
.
Bathrooms are marked. Their will be LRS potties by the ponds or the ones for Fort McHenry.
.
Worms provided to those who pre-registered, thanks to Cardinal Ridge Restoration and Consulting and Consulting. Feel free to bring extra (worms only), as needed, as well as all your fishing gear. We know how kids use bait, so plan according.
.
Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard will join us around 11:30 AM, right before awards, where you can buy italian ice! Breakfast & refreshments provided, thanks to them! There will be Bananas, Granola Bars, Donuts, Capri Sun, *Water and Coffee.
