White makes splash in Cyprus
Plant City native Trenton White competed with Team USA’s U17 squad in the European Pocket Billiard Federation World Championships and finished 12th overall in his age group. His performance also has him ranked 12th in the world among players 16 and under.
Sign up for Youth Fishing Derby
Registration for the annual Fall Youth Fishing Derby is now open.
The Fall Youth Fishing Derby comes back to the pond behind Plant City Stadium and the Randy L. Larson Softball Four-Plex bright and early this Saturday. The annual free event is for anglers age 5-15 and runs from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Participants are asked to bring their own fishing equipment, bait and buckets for the catch-and-release event, though past winners have often walked away with brand new gear to go with their trophies.
You can pre-register online at plantcitygov.com or at the PCRPD office by the end of the day today, or sign up on-site from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. on derby day. For more information, contact program manager Deborah Haldane at dhaldane@plantcitygov.com or at 813-659-4255.
