Ken Gould, President of the Walleyes’ association, said that the membership also gifts each child a fishing pole and a fully equipped tackle box for them to keep and take home.
The Walleyes group also provided fishing guides and a barbecue for all the kids and volunteers to enjoy. After the day of fishing, the youngsters could go swimming and participate in other outdoor games and activities.
The weather on Saturday was warm and sunny, and around 16 youngsters, both ‘Littles’ and ‘Bigs’ participated in the event.
“The kids always enjoy it,” Gould said.
The Walleyes Unlimited has hosted Big Brothers Big Sisters on an annual basis for around 20 years, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This function is also in partnership with the Sheridan YMCA who provides transportation to the event. Big Brothers, Big Sisters wants to thank Walleyes Unlimited for the many years of fun and support!
