Knabe Katch Fishing Derby Returning
to La Mirada Regional County Park
Over 1,000 youth ages 5
to 15 will be angling for a prize catch at the Tenth Annual Knabe
Katch Fishing Derby this Saturday, September 30, 2006. This year’s
event hosted by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe and the La
Mirada Kiwanis Club along with the City of La Mirada and the County
Department of Parks and Recreation promises to be a fun-filled day
for the entire family.
“The fishing derbies are always fun events that children and
families look forward to and many return to participate each year,”
said Supervisor Knabe. “Even if a child has never fished before,
there are volunteers on-hand to show them the art of casting a line
and the fun of putting a worm on a hook.”
The event will begin at 7:00 a.m. with a free pancake breakfast,
followed by the derby kickoff at 8:00 a.m. Children may take part in
free fishing and angler safety lessons as well as other activities.
Each child will also receive a free t-shirt and be eligible for
prizes in several categories. This year’s fishing derby also
includes a first-ever event, a community health fair will be held at
La Mirada Regional Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday
afternoon. The health fair will include free services, including
glucose checks, vaccinations, blood pressure checks and dental
checks.
La Mirada Regional Park is located at 13701 South Adelfa Avenue, La
Mirada, California. For more information, call (626) 333-1369.
