The much-loved Daryle Unger & Peanut Memorial Kids Fishing Derby in Greenfield may be returning this year, according to the event’s longtime organizer, Jimmy Jones.
Jones, along with his wife, Liz, organized the derby for 17 years before retiring from it. However, Jones said they have been talking about bringing it back, and even talked about bringing it back last year, but the pandemic upended any plans to make it happen. It’s something Jones said he will discuss further with the village.
