This is a wonderful article with great coverage of the event, the only thing is, it was actually the Oakfield Lions Club, not the Batavia Lions Club.

great job, by everyone involved. Fishing could have been much better, but that's why it's called FISHING, not catching!

We participated in the derby with my 4 yr old son and 8 yr old nephew. It was a great event and everyone was so nice. Thank you for the prizes and a good time.
