The 34th Annual Catch A Rainbow Kids Fishing Derby scheduled for
June 6th at the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery in being
postponed.
James Gray, regional supervisor the federal Fish and Wildlife
service, says the decision to postpone was a tough one. However, as Gray
pointed out, due to the federal, state and local guidelines in place for
COVID-19, and with the utmost consideration for the health and well-being of
the public, volunteers and staff, postponement of the fishing derby was the
safest decision.
The Catch A Rainbow fishing derby has been going for 34 years and
typically has around fourteen hundred participants, ranging in ages
1-15. The crowd is estimated around thirty-five hundred each
year.
No other information regarding a possible makeup date were made
