Plans have been made for the annual Take Kids Fishing Day to be held next month at the Riverside Park on the Tradewater River in Dawson Springs.
The opportunity is provided by several groups to offer a chance for children to experience a family-friendly time for them to enjoy the outdoors. One of the sponsoring groups is the Caldwell Conservation District and Arthur Dunn from the district shared about the upcoming event.
