AUBURN —
The 29th annual Fishing Rodeo will take place on Saturday, May 13, from 7 to 11 a.m. at the lake at Auburn Technology Park South. This event is hosted by Auburn Parks and Recreation and is sponsored by Evans Realty.
The cost of the event is $5 per child and is open to kids ages 1 to 14. Online registration opened Monday, April 10, for Auburn residents. Anyone outside of Auburn may register as of Monday, April 24. Every participant must be pre-registered; there will be no registration the day of the event.
The first 175 children registered will receive a free fishing rod and reel courtesy of Evans Realty, and Auburn Parks and Recreation will supply the bait. Each child may bring home a maximum of five fish and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Door prizes will be given out to lucky participants, and prizes will be awarded to the biggest and smallest fish caught in each age category. An award will also be given to the participant who catches the most fish overall. This event is a great chance to bring kids and their parents together with America’s favorite pastime.
