Happy fishers at Mason Lake (Shelton, Wa) Kids Fish-In
Thanks to all the volunteers, 2018 Kid's Fish-in was a great success. You made some lasting memories for many a kid and I heard a lot of Thank You's from the parents.
Wea had at least 80 kids catch fish. Some kids (with teacher permission) took the fish back to the school to be grilled and eaten!
Let's do it again :-)
