This Saturday, June 12th, the Brighton Optimist Club will be holding its 24th annual Free Fishing Derby For Kids, the longest running free and touth oriented fishing derby in the State of Michigan.
Registration begins at 7:30 am at the Brighton Mill Pond and runs 8 am - 10:30 am. The first 300 kids are guaranteed an event tee shirt. While results are tabulated, kids will enjoy lemonade and pizza. Trophies will be awarded beginning at 11 am. Bring your tackle and fishing poles, they will provide bait and have a limited number of 'loaner' rods & reels, too. The event costs about $4,500 to put on, much of it offset by sponsorships.
Every Saturday this month, you can skate for free at the Meijer-SELCRA skatepark at 300 Orndorf Drive, in Brighton. The Brighton Optimists were the driving force behind this park and continue to support it. Skateboarders and rollerbladers can work on their tricks and techniques here. Helmets are required.
