Tulsa, Okla. December 27, 2005 There is still time for communities and local organizations to sign up for hosting a fun turn-key youth fishing derby in 2006, but the deadline for doing so is fast approaching, January 31, 2006.
The fishing program is Wal-Mart Kids All-American Fishing presented by Zebco (KAAF). The reason for the early deadline is because the free-of- charge KAAF Derby Organizer Support Kits are built in advance based on approved event registrations.
Bringing a KAAF derby to a community is a simple process for just about any kind of organization willing to plan, coordinate, and host an on-the-water fishing event for local youth. More information, and the on- line application, are available at www.kids- fishing.com.
KAAF event organizers also have the unique opportunity to partner with local Wal-Mart stores to help increase the community experience. As title sponsor, Wal-Mart is encouraging its local stores to work with KAAF event organizers to help promote the derby, register participants, and host pre-derby hands-on activities (store participation may vary by area).
