Join us July 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Merwin Fish Hatchery in Ariel for a special day designed to introduce children with disabilities to the joy of fishing. Hosted annually by Pacific Power and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), this free event provides each child with a fishing rod, reel, and tackle, along with a volunteer to guide them. Families can also enjoy games, educational booths, hand-on activities, and a delicious barbecue lunch.
