This Saturday- Youth Outdoor Sports Day near Lansing

Post by Duke » Tue Jun 09, 2009 4:08 pm

Anybody looking for something to do with your kids this weekend, check out the Youth Sports Day hosted by the Mason Optimists Club held in Burchfield Park south of Lansing this Saturday. It features outdoor HANDS-ON activities and displays related to fishing, hunting, shooting, archery, canoeing, kayaking, camping, hiking, trapping, wildlife... lots of stuff! The park has a pond on-site that is popular for swimming and is also stocked with rainbows for put-and-take.

Lunch is provided, as well as raffle prizes and free t-shirts for the first 300 kids. This is a very well attended event, last year some 400-500 kids attended.

And yes, there will be a muskie fishing display!! I was asked to help them out after taking my kids there last year to participate. They enjoyed it very much

Thanks for your efforts last Saturday, Duke. All of us who love muskies are grateful to see someone putting in the time to help steer kids - and adults - in the right direction when it comes to Michigan's single most exciting fish.

...And it's good to see someone who can handle the endless "how big do they have to be to keep" questions so smoothly!

Thanks a bunch, Duke.
