If we can keep them busy, teaching them about the outdoors, I think it’s a win for everyone.” On the first day of the event, children of all ages sit around the Sussex County Community College pond hoping to catch a few of the 1,000 trout, donated from Thor Labs in Newton, dropped in the lake for the event.
