Huge Success at Family Fishing

Fish On!

FAMILIES EXPLORE THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FISHING
Picture

Thank you to all of the families who joined us Saturday October 8th, 2016 at Overland Pond Park. It was a fantastic day of crafts, games, and catching fish! Families learned the basics of casting and fishing ethics– and a few kids even caught their first fish!  

Environmental Learning for Kids (ELK) partnered with TGF and were the fishing experts for the day. From baiting the hooks to releasing the fish, this event would not happen without their support and their amazing teaching staff! Thank yous also go out to EarthForce and Denver Parks and Recreation for coming out and making Family Fishing Day so much fun! 

Check out all the pictures from the event on our Facebook page!

Missed the fishing event? There is still room at our last SPREE event of the year- Pioneering on the Platte. Come learn about the historic role of the South Platte River on Saturday, November 5th at Johnson Habitat Park from 11 am – 2 pm. Dress like a Pioneer, make Native American-inspired crafts, and pan for gold! Click here to learn more!

THANK YOU TO NOBLE ENERGY FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS EVENT!
