Activities & Events
The Soil and Water Conservation District offers free natural resource education programs for all ages.
Bring your children or grandchildren out to enjoy the 15th Annual Youth Fishing Derby at Watterson Park Lake, Saturday, June 6, 2009. Last year, kids lined the bank to try their hand at catching some of the 3,000 catfish that were put in early that morning. This activity is designed to get children "Hooked on Fishing" as a fun, recreational sport. The event is for children only; fishing poles, bait and prizes provided!
