MAUMEE TACKLE YOUTH DERBY   

             THE DERBY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. WE WERE BLESS WITH BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. THERE WERE JUST OVER A HUNDRED AND FIFTY KIDS FISHING. FISHING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT THE KIDS STILL HAD A GREAT TIME. THE WINNERS IN THE NINE YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER AGE GROUP WERE 1st PLACE ASHLEY MERCER, 2nd PLACE MARIS SCHNAPP, 3rd PLACE ABBY GULCH. THE TEN TO FOURTEEN YEAR OLD AGE GROUP WINNERS WERE 1st PLACE ZACK PELLOWS, 2nd PLACE GABRIEL BIGELOW, 3rd PLACE EARL SMITH. BIG FISH PRIZE WENT TO ISABELLA FRAY AND JOSH PARRETT. ALSO WE DREW NUMBERS IN A RAFFLE TO GIVE AWAY A ADDITIONAL FORTY-FIVE PRIZES. WHILE WAITING FOR THE DERBY RESULTS, HOTDOGS WERE SERVED TO ALL. CONTESTANTS CAME AS FAR AWAY AS DAYTON OHIO, MICHIGAN, AND INDIANA. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK  PROPERTY OWNER BETTY BAUMAN WHO WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO LET US USE HER POND FOR THE DERBY.

     THANKS BETTY
