Saturday

Trout Fishing Derby at Kiwanis Lake

The 24th Annual William Shaffer Trout Fishing Derby will be held Saturday at Kiwanis Lake in York City. The derby is for children ages 15 and under, and all children should be accompanied by an adult.  

The fishing derby is a free family event. It runs 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine.

William Shaffer was a private citizen from York County who wanted to teach York City youth a recreational hobby that they could carry throughout their lifetime.  His efforts evolved into the current annual Trout Fishing Derby. 

This event is sponsored by York City Recreation and Parks Bureau, Etzweiler Funeral Homes and the Izaak Walton League York Chapter. The 48th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Kiwanis Lake follows from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
