Fishing tournament benefiting veterans set for Saturday in La Quinta
A fishing tournament aimed at supporting local veterans is planned for this weekend at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park in La Quinta.
The first-ever Veterans Fishing Derby organized by Coachella Valley veterans will be held Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at the park located at 58075 Jefferson St.
Money generated from the tournament fee, and food and beverage sales, will benefit several veterans organizations. Coming to fish and compete for prizes, or just visiting the park and buying something to eat, will support local veterans posts which have been struggling over the past year, according to a statement distributed by county
