ELKTON — Team Elkton is preparing for the third annual Team Elkton’s Fishing Rodeo, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Howard’s Pond.
An idea originally intended for a few neighborhood kids will turn into an event for the whole community. The inaugural Team Elkton Fishing Rodeo launches on Howardâs Pond off East Main Street Elkton on Saturday, May 22 at 9 a.m.
âLast Christmas, I bought a few fishing poles for a few little kids that are in my life, and I thought, in the spring, Iâm going to take these kids fishing,â said Elkton Town Commissioner Rob Massimiano, who organized the event. âThat thought grew into Iâd like to take a whole bunch of kids fishing.â
The free event for children 15 and under requires pre-registration by May 19 at PARKS@ELKTON.ORG. Massimiano said the event will accept late registrations until Friday May 21, if the event has not reached its 100 person capacity. Fishing equipment will be provided free of charge, giving an opportunity for children to fish, who may not have access to equipment at home.
