A local tradition in Scranton is coming up soon for an outdoor activity.<\/p>\n

Iowa Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Aron Arthur says the 14th Annual Steven Squibb Memorial Scranton Kids\u2019 Fishing Day is on Friday, June 5th from 5-7pm at the Scranton Pond. He invites youth from 4-17 years old to sign up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great event, I\u2019ve worked it since I transferred here five years ago. It\u2019s put on by the Squibb family. But they give out a lot of prizes and it\u2019s a great thing for the Scranton area kids. It\u2019s a really good event. Usually they catch quite a few bluegills, a few crappies and a few bass. It\u2019s a good event.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arthur encourages registrations by tomorrow to be guaranteed a prize on that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething that\u2019s age-related to the kids that register. When they register, they\u2019re not going to give a four-year-old something that you would give to an adult. They have age-appropriate prizes, so that\u2019s why they want you to register. So, it makes it even better because it gives the kids something they may actually use. They also give away basketballs, it\u2019s tough to get kids outside. It\u2019s not all fishing stuff, but a lot of it is outdoor related equipment.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arthur adds that registration forms can be found at the M.F. and Maude E. Marchant Memorial Library in Scranton or by calling Ashley Squibb at 515-370-3505.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scranton Pond from last year’s Steven Squibb Memorial.
