| Family Fishing Fair |
The Family Fish Fair was a chance to introduce KSPS to the public. The Portage Parks and
Recreation department hosted the event Saturday 24 April from 4 to 8 pm. Over a hundred
people turned out, even though it threatened to rain and at times did rain. KSPS was invited to
host a station for youngsters called Ready, Set, Boat.
We had three activities for kids. The first was identifying parts of a boat and explaining what the
capacity plate means. The second was having children select items they thought should be taken
on a boat trip and explaining their importance. Third was putting on a PFD and making sure it fits
properly. In addition, we had our usual handouts and safety brochures, a safety video running
on laptop and talked about our classes.
