There is still a need for more additional volunteers to help with the annual Kids' Fishing Derby which will be held at Lampe Park in Gardnerville on June 2-3.

Those volunteers are needed to support the many different activities of that huge two-day event, which will involve a total of 2,400 youngsters.

Among the activities that require volunteers are:

Manning the registration desk for each session.

Selling doughnuts and hot coffee in the mornings.

Supplying "loaner" fishing poles and reels to youngsters who don't have their own equipment.

Baiting the youngsters' fishing hooks.

Manning the entry gates.

Untangling lines, snarls or snags during the derby.

Netting fish.

Manning the prize table.

Working in the snack wagon selling food and drinks. Cooking hamburgers and hot dogs.

If you would like to volunteer your services, call either Trent Dowell at 267-2724 or Steve Hamilton at 782-0742 or Pam Rodrigues at 265-1795.?Į
