Annual Fishing Challenge

This coming weekend Westborough Civic Club will again be sponsoring their annual free Fishing Challenge at Sandra Pond Reservoir, Minute Man Park, Upton Road. This will be the eighteenth year of the club fully funding and organizing this event, which is scheduled to take place Saturday May 2nd, fishing times being 9am to 1pm. Registration is free on the day and open to all ages – with multiple prizes awarded for biggest fish in 3 separate age groups. With no fishing licence required for this specific event and persons new to the pastime able to take advantage of loaner rods and reels (and even free bait subject to availability) event organiser Bill ‘Big Fish’ Kohler is hoping that good weather will ensure this year’s turnout surpasses even that of past years, when more than 150 people regularly take part in any one year. The only stipulation is that young children be accompanied by an adult.

Westborough Civic Club is a registered charitable organization established in 1975 for the sole purpose of benefiting the town of Westborough and its residents. The Club is able to sponsor events such as the Fishing Challenge through the sale of trees, wreaths and roping between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve from their East Main Street lot in Westborough and the effort of volunteer members who run this event. New members are always welcome. Enquiries as to membership and details on the Club’s charitable activities may be obtained through contacting the Civic Club via westborocivicclub.com/ or facebook.com/westboroughcivicclub/
