Summit City Bassmasters
2004 Kids Outing
The Summit City Bassmasters 2004 Kids Outing was held at a private pond east of New Haven, Indiana on July 17, 2004. 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 each year as part of the club's commitment to the betterment of the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana community.
Thanks to all the Summit City Bassmasters members who organized 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.
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.
