The kids go fishing

We spent a day at the Fred Berry Conservation Education Center for the Family Fishing Fair.  They had free fishing at the stock pond so the kids could learn to fish and under the pavilion there was all the your could eat hotdogs and chips.

Legend says some big corporation was going to buy the land where the center now sits and put in a rock quarry but a one of the long time locals won’t hear of it so he bought the land and donated it to the county and had the center built for the children so they could have an free county run educational nature center.

We need more individuals like Mr. Berry.
