Wiscasset Rod and Gun Club hosted a free kids ice fishing derby on Feb. 24. We had a great turnout of families that participated. The kids won cash prizes for the fish that they weighed in, as well as many door prizes that were drawn and given out. Ice fishing traps, jig poles, tackle boxes and even a portable ice shack.

The free cookies, brownies and hot dogs were a big hit with all who attended.

We would like to thank our local businesses that generously donated prizes for this event: Ames Supply, Renys, Water’s Edge Bait, J Z Meat Processing, and Sweetz & More.
