Fishing derby changes date
The Plant City Recreation and Parks Department’s fall Youth Fishing Derby has a new date.

The derby is open to kids between age 5 and 15 and runs from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. that Saturday morning in the pond behind Plant City Stadium, accessible through Gordon Food Service Drive off Park Road. Prizes are awarded for biggest fish, most catches and more.
The event is free and pre-registration is available online at plantcitygov.com or at the PCRPD office. On-site registration on Dec. 1 begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 8:15 a.m. Contact Deborah Haldane at 813-659-4255 ext. 4302 or dhaldane@plantcitygov.com for more information.
