Summit City Bassmasters
2003 Kids Outing
The Summit City Bassmasters 2003 Kids Outing was held at a pond east of New Haven, Indiana on August 2, 2003. The Summit City Bassmasters hosted youngsters with disabilities and their families for some fishing and a cook-out. The youngsters were from the Turnstone Center for Disabled Children and Adults. The club holds a Kids Outing at least once each year as part of the club's commitment to the betterment of the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana community.
Thanks to Summit City Bassmasters members for organizing this event for the club. Thanks also to club members' wives who were gracious with their help. The event was fun and enjoyed by all who attended.
Each of the kids are presented with tackle. The club raises money and accepts donations to buy the fishing equipment and provide the food. The participating youngster keeps the tackle so after this event is over, they may use it to go fishing often.
A lunch of hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, cookies, pie and more was served to the hungry kids and crew. Then it was back to fishing.
The day started out cloudy and bit foreboding. We were wondering if the event might be rained out but later the sun came out. It turned out to be a beautiful day and the kids caught a lot of bluegill and several bass.
