Fun Had By All at Fishing Rodeo
The annual fishing rodeo was recently held at Lost Mountain Park. Every year the Natural Resource Management staff of Cobb County, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department hosts a fishing rodeo for children ages 3—16 years old. The rodeo is free and prizes and trophies are given out to the first, second and third place winners for the most fish caught. Everyone who enters the fishing rodeo also receives a prize bag full of goodies that have been donated by several businesses. Although the weather was overcast with some rain, over 100 children participated in the rodeo this year. There were 51 fish caught with the largest fish measuring 15.5 inches which was caught by Blake Goerke winning the Best Overall Fish trophy. The other winners were:
