YORK, Pa. — Children ages 15 and under are invited to a fishing derby in York County this weekend.
The 25th Annual William Shaffer Trout Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday, April 6 from 8 a.m. - noon at Kiwanis Lake, rain or shine.
"William Shaffer was a private citizen from York County who wanted to teach City youth a recreational hobby that they could carry throughout their lifetime," organizers said in a press release. "His efforts evolved into the current annual Trout Fishing Derby."
The Derby is a free, family-friendly event. All children should be accompanied by an adult. The lake will be stocked with trout.
York City Recreation and Parks Bureau, Etzweiler Funeral Homes, the Izaak Walton League York Chapter and Dicks Sporting Goods in East York are working together to put on the event.
