Ketchikan, AK - Rain did not dampen the enthusiasm displayed at the 'Kids All-American Fishing Derby' held Saturday morning at City Park. This fun & lively event was well attended with approximately 30 participants in each age group.

The age groups for the Fishing Derby were 3-5 year olds, 6-8 year olds and 9-11 year olds. The City Park ponds were stocked with rainbow trout for this event only.

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Parks and Recreation Department organized Saturday's 'Kids All-American Fishing Derby' event sponsored by Wal-Mart. Parents and numerous other volunteers assisted the younger derby participants. Many of the volunteers assisting in the event were from the United States Forest Service, including Smokey the Bear.
