Area youngsters invited to fish free March 10

A lot of youthful anglers are being sought to have fun March 10.
The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) will be holding a free family fishing day at Nichols Park as they complete their work and dedicate the project to the community.
The first 150 youngsters aged 15 and under who register at the park before the fishing fun begins at 10:30 will receive a free fishing rod and reel.
Work that morning by the USA will install the new roof at the shelter house pavilion. Alliance members spent one day last fall cleaning up around the park and installing a second floating fishing dock. Since then, they placed a dozen steel grills at Nichols as well as Jim Hall Lake and McCutcheon Park.
A lunch will be served at 11:30 followed by dedication of the project. Those on hand to participate in the dedication will be mayor Jennifer Clason, Jimmy Fish, Project Leader, Jimmy Curry, OK AFL-CIO President and Forrest Parker, USA Director of Conservation and Community Outreach.
The work as well as materials were completely paid for by volunteers and through the USA Work Boots on the Ground program.
All youngsters must be accompanied by an adult.
