“We are incredibly excited for this year’s Fish-O-Rama events,” said Hanceville Parks & Recreation Director David Wasilewski. “This is one of our favorite community traditions, and we’ve been hard at work getting everything ready at Veterans Memorial Park. Seeing the community come together at the pond is what makes this event so special.”
Participants will not only get to enjoy a morning of fishing, but lunch will also be provided. Trophies will be awarded throughout the divisions, as well as door prizes, during the event.
Assistant Director Garrett Gilliland said park organizers are looking forward to another fun weekend in Hanceville with the Fish-O-Rama.
“It’s all about making memories and, hopefully, catching ‘the big one,’” Gilliland said. “We have some fantastic door prizes and trophies lined up and we can’t wait to see the young anglers showing off their skills.”
