Wiscasset Rod and Gun Club hosted its second annual free kids ice fishing derby Feb. 22. We had a great turnout of families that participated. Kids, parents and grandparents alike enjoyed the free cookies, hot dogs and hot chocolate.

Cash prizes were given out for the three biggest fish in each of the categories. Etta Stockford brought in the largest fish, a 3.66 pound smallmouth bass.

There was also many door prizes that were drawn and given out. The grand prize of an Eskimo double ice shelter, donated by Ames Supply, was won by Avery DeCosta.

We would like to thank our local businesses that generously donated prizes and gift certificates: Ames Supply, Renys department stores, Sweetz & more, and Waters Best Bait.
