Participate in the 3rd Annual Kids Casting Contest

Hey kids bring your parents to Lebert Park during the Cheyenne Bottoms Wetlanders Festival for an exciting kids fish casting contest sponsored by TBD. Lebert Park is located on Main Street directly north of First Kansas Bank. 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.

• After the practice station they will move on to the Fishing Hole where each child will have 5 casts to snag and drag in 1 of 3 fish.
• The 3 fish will be at different distances so if they miss the fish that's farthest away they will still have the chance to snag a closer fish.
• The fish are on a point/pound system and the child that reels in the most fish and poundage wins.
