AIR FORCE BASES SIGN ON TO YOUTH FISHING PROGRAM
Bases in Alaska, Kansas, North Dakota and Texas will
host Wal-Mart Kids All-American Derby events in 2004
KETCHUM, Okla. U.S. Air Force bases in Alaska, Kansas, North Dakota
and
Texas have signed on to host youth fishing days this summer for the
Wal-Mart Kids All American Fishing Derby.
Hooked On Fishing International, the organization that manages the popular
program for kids 5 to 16, announced that adult volunteers have been
approved to put on events for young anglers whose parents are stationed
at
Eielson Air Force Base, Eielson, AK, McConnell Air Force Base, Wichita,
KS,
Minot Air Force Base, Minot, ND, and Goodfellow Air Force Base, San
Angelo,
TX.
Local civic-minded adult organizations set up and supervise the fishing
derbies, usually half-day events consisting of actual on-the-water
fishing,
special contests and a hot dog cookout. If approved, the local groups
receive a free kit that includes a how-to handbook, promotion materials,
fishing items for the young anglers and even prizes for the winners

A FISHING TIP FOR KIDS FROM SEBASTIAN T. BOBBER
Want more fish bites? Use worms and minnows for bait. If you're a beginner,
get a grown-up to help you put them on the hook. Fish hooks are very
sharp.
