Registration opens for agencies and organizations to host a local event in 
the hugely popular Wal-Mart Kids All-American Fishing Derby program
 

KETCHUM, Okla. --  The biggest and fastest growing kids fishing derby 
program is about to get even bigger.

Over 300,000 kids up to age 16 participated in 1,822 Wal-Mart Kids 
All-American Fishing Derby events in 2003.  Registration has now been 
opened for 2004 and organizers predict the biggest year ever in the 18 year 
history of the program which already reaches all 50 states.

Hooked On Fishing International (HOFI) now invites qualified agencies and 
organizations to register for a free fishing derby kit with a how-to 
handbook, prizes, name tags, goodies for each participant and almost 
everything else they will need to hold their own on-the-water fishing event 
in 2004.

Local events last typically half-a-day and usually include snacks and 
drinks for the youngsters.  They are staffed by adult volunteers from the 
community, typically from organizations like the Optimists, Lions, Kiwanis, 
Elks, Chambers of Commerce and Jaycees, angling and various outdoor 
organizations, scout groups, parks and recreation departments, and others.

HOFI has designed the official web site for on-line registration to be as 
easy as 1, 2, and 3.

HOFI provides the fishing derby kits free of charge to qualifying
