Kids ages 5 to 17 years old will be able to test their mettle against other young anglers at Falls Township Parks and Recreation’s annual fishing derby.

The derby, scheduled to run on Memorial Day, will take place at phase two (the lake side) of the Falls Township Community Park. Check in begins at 6:30 a.m. and will run until 8 a.m. The derby itself will run from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. A casting competition will begin at 10:30 a.m.

According to Brian Andrews, the director of Parks and Recreation for Falls Township, every participant will receive a medal, and random prizes will be given out at the end of the derby.

The derby has been running for at least 20 years. Last year, the event garnered between 100 and 125 participants. “It’s a pretty popular event,” Andrews said.

The derby is free to register for. Participants can register at the Parks and Recreation office at 188 Lincoln Highway, or at Bart’s Tackle Shop in Tullytown, at 460 Lovett Avenue.
