On Saturday, May 11, 2013, RFC Ricky Boles and RFC Richard Tanner presented members of a local Cub Scout troop with a Kids Fishing Event. The officers began with a short presentation covering fishing laws, types of fish found in the area, and boating safety. Following the presentation, the scouts caught several bass and bream in the pond. One lucky angler won a rod and reel combo that was donated by a local marina for catching the largest fish of the event.
