The Lions of Zone C-3 invite special needs youth, their siblings and friends, and responsible adult supervisors to its 12th annual Special Needs Youth Fishing Derby on Saturday.

The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., is free and provides a great family opportunity for children to fish the pond, 601 Oravetz Road.

Pre-registration not required. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.

A limited number poles and reels will be available for use, or bring your own. Bait is provided, along with T-shirts and stringers. Grab a photo of your child with his or her catch. The Lions will clean the fish for you. Expert fishing help is also available.

No adult fishing is allowed, but assistance to children is permissible.
