On Saturday, June 20, The Leroy Sportsman's Association held its first annual fishing derby for its members at the pond of Dave & Pat Wright of Canton Township.
The event was a huge success with approximately 30 children from 17 years of age and under attending the event. The Leroy Sportman's Association would like to thank its Board of Directors for putting this on, along with Hurley's Fresh Markets of Towanda and Thompson's Meats of Jersey Shore, PA for their donations of hotdogs, rolls, and water.
Also special thanks to Penny Wheeler of Leroy for taking several pictures.
The Leroy Sportmsan's Association is encouraging to get the youth involved in the outdoors. If your interested in a individual membership or family membership you may contact one of the board members; Ed Pepper, C.J. Walters, John Brenchley, Greg Bellows, Jeff Pepper, Dave Wright, Jason Ward, Gary Martell, and Jason Bellows.
Leroy Sportman's Association is planning the next event on July 18 which will be a wood chuck tournament that will be open to the public and members. Stay tuned for further information.
