Kiwanis Clubs hook kids on fishing

The Division 21 Kiwanis Clubs held their 9th annual Fishing Day for kids at the James River Fishing Pier. The event has grown over the years from 32 children its first year to 227 this year. The kids got a chance to spend several hours fishing with help from the adults on hand, and were treated to a nice cookout afterwards.
