“Our annual Fishing Derby is a unique event in the Park. We are taking advantage of being a park with water features to give children a fun, outdoor activity,” said Lee Sanders, Pyramid Hill’s interim executive director. 

Parents and guardians also are encouraged to bring their fishing rods and wet a hook while accompanying their youthful entrants in the catch-and-release tourney. The competition will be divided into three age groups: 5 to 7 years old; 8 to 10 years old; and 11 to 13 years old. Prizes will be awarded for the biggest fish caught and most fish caught.

General Admission for the park normally is $8 for adults and $3 for children, but admission to the fishing derby is free, as the event is being sponsored by the Wilks Insurance Co., of Hamilton and Mason.
