Introduce your kids to the lifelong joys of fishing at Preston Trout Days, Friday, May 20 through Sunday, May 22.

Saturday morning at 9 a.m. is the Kid’s Fishing Contest at Camp Creek approximately two miles past Preston’s ballpark in Maust’s pasture on Hunter Road. The fun event is for kids ages 12 and under!  Fishing licenses are not required but kids must be accompanied by an adult and bring their own equipment and bait. The event lasts a couple of hours, but feel free to come and go. Don’t forget to register for prizes. Participants will not go hungry as lunch is included.
