Keep Kids Fishin'
ST CROIX FALLS, WI – Looking ahead to June 10, another memory-making day for kids fishing on Deer Lake as part of the 14th annual Neil McKenzie Memorial Youth Fishing Derby is in the planning stages. This is a kid-focused event sponsored by family and friends of Neil McKenzie (1930-2003) and the Polk County Sportsmen’s Club. All fisher-kids must pre-register by May 20 to participate.
We are looking to take kids fishing who wouldn’t normally have this opportunity! Do you know a kid, age 5-15 (no license required), who would love to learn how to fish, and find their way to connect with nature? Invite the adult in their life to pre-register the new fisher-kid so we reserve a place on a pontoon or boat for them.
Each June many wonderful people donate the use of their pontoons, fishing boats, fishing rods and tackle, time, talents, prizes, and trophies to provide a free day of fishing, learning, and fun for area kids who might not otherwise have that opportunity. This has been a legacy of love and pride in our area – a practice continued from how Neil McKenzie interacted with kids and encouraged them to love the outdoors. Please feel free to join in the fun and pre-register by May 20 to “Keep Kids Fishin'!”
You are also invited to help the coordinators plan another fun and meaningful day for the kids. “How?” you ask. Fishing guides, boat drivers, parking attendants, and food preparers/servers make this event happen. Your volunteering is much appreciated.
Kids and volunteers need to pre-register by using the online registration forms at www.NeilMcKenzieYouthFishingContest.org.
