DETROIT RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO HOST FISHING FUN DAY
ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

All children who love fishing -- or who'd love to give it a try -- come out this Saturday, Sept. 8, to the Detroit Recreation Department's Annual Fishing Fun Day at the DTE Energy/D.N.R. Delray Pier, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Delray Pier is located on W. Jefferson between Waterman and Livernois next to Historic Fort Wayne.

The event, co-sponsored by DTE Energy, is free for youth ages 14 and under. The Dip Net Bait and Tackle in Ecorse will supply bait; however, you will need to bring your own fishing pole. Enjoy a day of fishing, lunch and prizes. A memorial tree planting will take place in honor of the co-founder of the event, Dave Dorrell, who passed away earlier this year.

�We were fortunate to have Dave Dorrell as part of our recreation team," commented Loren S. Jackson, Detroit Recreation Department Director. "His vision and passion for the outdoors helped to create this event and we will strive to continue it in his honor."

Advanced registration is available at Detroit recreation centers, or by calling the Southeast District Office at (313) 224-9010. Registration will also be available on site the day of the event.
For more information, call (313) 224-9010.
