Get a kid hooked on fishing! The Camden County Solid Waste Authority is pleased to announce that the 27th Annual Kids Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2021. From 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., children 16 years and under are invited to participate in this year’s event at the SR-110 landfill in Woodbine.
Utilizing a Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) program that stocks this pond, and others throughout the state, to encourage children to fish, the Kids Fishing Derby is in its 27th year. Camden County landfills have abundant wildlife, including bald eagles and other animals.
Participants need to bring fishing poles and chairs. Prizes will be awarded for the longest fish, heaviest fish, and youngest fisher. The Solid Waste Authority, along with sponsors Georgia DNR, Folkston Auto, Yancey Brothers, and Buccaneers Bait and Tackle, will provide hot dogs, drinks, and bait. Please call 912-729-4099 for more information.
