Hackensack Children’s Fishing Contest Week 10

   The last week of the contest was ‘Extra Prizes’ Day.  All leftover prizes were given away through some random ticket draws.  It was HOT, really hot today.  No shade from any clouds!  We also gave away two $80+ tackle boxes with tackle.  We had two winners that were either here or family of them was here.  We were so excited for them.  It has been a wonderful year and so happy to see so many families enjoying what we offer and spending time together.  We had 688 youth this year and they caught 1597 fish.  That is pretty impressive for a year after COVID and being rained out on what should have been our busiest day on July 6th.

   I can’t do this event alone, and I thank all my volunteers for coming every week to do setup, running stations, registration, cooking, face painting, serve pop, etc.  They are the heart of this event every year.  We also thank all our sponsors. Their donations of money and items help make this such a successful event.
