Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Saturday at 8 Oaks Park for our Take A Kid Fishing Rodeo!

We had a great turnout and loved seeing so many kids and families enjoying a morning outdoors, learning to fish, and making memories together. Events like these would not be possible without the support of our staff, volunteers, community partners, and everyone who came out to participate.

We also want to give a special thank you to everyone at .outdoors, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, , Student Angler League Tournament Trail, and Sonic Drive-In for their help with setup, fishing assistance, food service, and cleanup throughout the event.

We appreciate the community’s continued support and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
