Participate in the 4th Annual Kids Casting Contest

Hey kids bring your parents to Lebert Park next to the Welcome Center at 115 North Main during the Cheyenne Bottoms Wetlanders Festival for an exciting kids fish casting contest. The contest is divided up into two age group 6 years and younger, and 7 to 12 years of age. Kids, you can leave your fishing poles at home, they will be provided for you by Tommie Burger of Lake Wilson, Kansas Wildlife and Parks. Oh and moms don't worry the poles are equipped with blunt plastic weights, there are no hooks of any kind involved.

• The fish are on a point/pound system and the child that reels in the most fish and poundage wins.
