Several local businesses sponsored this event and every participant left with a prize. Local officers served hotdogs to families during the award ceremony. Special thanks to the high school aged park and rec judges who measured and tallied the fish. Chief Billy Jones stated that this event is a great way for officers to build positive relationships with our community.
