Dear Editor:

On June 2, the Limestone County Sportsman’s Club had its annual Kid’s Free Fishing Rodeo at our club pond on Kennedy Road.

We had 40 children between the ages of 5-15 attend the event. They caught a total of approximately 370 pounds of fish.

We would like to thank our sponsors. Without their help, we could not have provided prizes and food for the day:

• Alabama Veterans Museum;

• Alfa Insurance-Don Blevins;

• Barnett & Swann Home Furnishings;

• Cabela’s;

• Dixie Auto Parts;

• Eastside Pharmacy (Billy and Monique Cannon);

• Haney Equipment;

• Edward Jones-Rob Phraner;

• LawLers BBQ;

• Pepsi of Decatur; and

• Publix of Athens.

Thanks to all the parents, grandparents and friends who attended. We hope to see you all next year.

Sincerely,

Carol Mulack,

president

Limestone County Sportsman’s Club
