Annual Douglas County Kids Fishing Derby at Lampe Park canceled
After careful consideration our organizers have made the difficult decision to cancel the Douglas County Kids Fishing Derby 2022, scheduled for June 4-5 at Lampe Park in Gardnerville.
The last few years have taken a heavy toll on so many of our families and communities. Our Kids Fishing family was no exception. We have lost dear members of our committee and some were unable to continue due to unforeseen circumstances.
With that, the remaining members decided to pursue the challenge of making the derby happen for the community we miss serving. The logistics of the event are enormous, and with a very small group of members we found it an insurmountable task. Our team is heartbroken that we are unable to hold this event for our children and wonderful community. We will be reaching out directly via social media and local news outlets with information about the cancellation.
KFD members are exploring options to coordinate a donation on behalf of the Kids Fishing Derby and our generous sponsors, to benefit our local youth.
Thank everyone who has contributed to the Derby this year, and in years to come. We look forward to bringing you Kids Fishing Derby 2023 as a reimagined event that brings our children, and community together, in a showcase that celebrates our passion for
fishing!
