The contest was sponsored by the Pro Hardware across Hiway 76 and run by the Candlewick Anglers fishing club. What a great job by the club and a wonderful sponsor! The picture above is of the three first place winners for their age groups. I wish I could post more pictures but there were so many kids entered and I wouldn't want to choose which ones to post so I am sticking with the first place winners, Jacob, Hunter, and Grace. The winners are..........
