Take Kids Fishing was held Saturday morning at Riverside Park on the Tradewater River in Dawson Springs.
The rain on Friday didn’t stop over 150 people from arriving at the ballpark grounds to try their hand at catching a fish. Pat George, a city council member from Princeton and one of the day’s sponsors thanked everyone who helped provide the fun day for the kids.
