Special to the Times Vedette
The Panorama Days Kids Fishing Derby set a new record with 114 kids casting lines under blue skies and sunshine — and the fish were definitely biting. Thanks to the support of Lake Panorama Fin & Feather, T-Dogg’s (for donating 30 dozen night crawlers), and Mark Buster (sponsor of the $60 big fish cash prize), more than $2,000 in trophies, prizes and cash were given out. The event was FREE for families to enjoy.
