Young Anglers Get Ready for Fishing Derby at Cerritos Regional
County Park
Nearly 1,000 children
will be angling for a prize catch at the 2006 Cerritos Kids Fishing
Derby at Cerritos Regional Park on Saturday, June 3. The annual
event is sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, along
with the City of Cerritos, the Los Angeles County Department of
Parks and Recreation and the Cerritos Rod and Gun Club.
“This fishing derby is always a fantastic event that children and
families look forward to every year,” said Supervisor Knabe. “Even
if a child has never fished before, there will be volunteers on-hand
to show them the art of fishing.”
The event begins at 7:00 a.m. with a free pancake breakfast,
followed by the fishing derby from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Children
can participate in free fishing and angler safety lessons. Each
child will also receive a free t-shirt and be eligible to compete
for prizes in other categories.
Approximately 1,000 children attend the fishing derby annually,
including nearly 200 foster children and over 100 children being
transported in from parks throughout Supervisor Knabe’s District.
Cerritos Regional Park is located at 19700 Bloomfield Avenue in the
City of Cerritos. For more information, call (562) 924-5144.
