Special fishing event held for kids
By Marianne Austin
On Aug . 13 the ponds at Coshocton Sportsman ’ s Club were surrounded with families who like to fish and enjoy a day outdoors . A kids fishing derby was sponsored by Tucks Bait and Tackle business located near Wills Creek .
“ This is our first year with this event ,” owner Ken Jennings said . “ We ’ ve been in business for four years , and this is the first fishing event . We provided the bait , we have free hot dogs and water for everybody , and we have some games for the kids today . The Sportsman ’ s Club was great to donate the ponds for it . We had many donors for prizes . We are giving away backpacks filled with school supplies . A lot of volunteers helped fill the backpacks . Plus , we want to introduce children to fishing . This is just to enjoy the outdoors by fishing on a Sunday afternoon . This has always been a dream of ours since we first started the bait shop .”
Tucks Bait and Tackle is named for their 6-yearold son Tucker . “ He introduces himself to people and says , ‘ My name is
