Executive Summary:

Kids Fishing Day Event Summary
– The annual Kids Fishing Day event attracted around 600 attendees, including kids, parents, grandparents, and friends.
– Despite heavy rain holding off until after the event, the organizers faced challenges such as a 40% increase in bluegill costs, which was partly offset by contributions from Leelanau County, Cherryland Electric, PATH, and the Grand Traverse Band.
– Volunteer turnout was low for pre-event meetings, but many volunteers showed up on the day of the event to help.
– County employees and Park Commissioners were very helpful in supporting the event.
– The fish, particularly the bluegills, were not as active as hoped, but the event still provided entertainment through fish painting and turtle gazing.
– The event continues to promote the use of the county park, and the organizers plan to focus on promoting it as a haven for people with disabilities.
