SOMERSWORTH—
On Saturday, May 14, 2011, the Somersworth Lions Club pond will be stocked with more than three hundred fish for the second annual Somersworth Lions Club Youth Fishing Derby. Event proceeds will benefit local people with visual and hearing impairments and help maintain the Somersworth Lions Club Skating Rink.
“We hope to make this fun, family fishing derby a great new Somersworth tradition,” says Peter Houde, Somersworth Lions Club President. “Fishing is a terrific way for kids to enjoy outdoor, old-fashion fun and at the same time, learn about giving back to the community.”
Giving back to the community is what the Lions Club is all about. Each year, the club gets involved and supports many local causes and events and runs their own activities like the Fishing Derby, The Annual Christmas Tree Sale and operating the free public outdoor Skating Rink.
Houde noted, “We are also hoping that parents will take note that the Lions Club is actively seeking new members to get involved. We have a lot of fun and we are looking to grow.”
All participants in the Fishing Derby will receive a free event tee shirt for registering and many prizes will be awarded during the event! Bring your appetite, as breakfast and lunch will be available for sale at the event. The Lions Club members will have the snack shack open all day with food and drinks, hot and cold available. The Derby kicks off at 8 a.m. and ends at noon. Derby participants should be 15 years old or younger and should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

You can also mail them and payment to: Somersworth Lions Club, 135 West High Street, Somersworth, NH 03878 or drop them off Dover Marine / Covered Bridge Sports (Route 108, Dover).
