Reel "Em In!

There is so much going on this coming weekend (it's only Monday at 9:27 a.m. and already I am dreaming of the weekend!)...downtown development tours, art gallery crawl, Love Drums concert, and much, much more...

And one of the coolest events IMO, is the Fishing Rodeo at Centennial Park on Saturday.

Alas...I am now too old to participate but when I was a young 'un growing up in Memphis, TN, there were few things I enjoyed more than the annual fishing rodeo at Audubon Park. I don't remember ever winning any prizes but I sure did have a great time!

Did you ever participate in a fishing rodeo as a kid? Do you still love fishing?

Here's the scoop on this weekend's Nashville event, taken from www.tennesseegreen.com:

Cumberland River Compact and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency presents the Sixth Annual Catfish Rodeo. This family festival is about connecting children to local waters. The day involves 2,000 pounds of catfish stocked in Lake Watauga, two flights of fishing, educational booths and activities for children to enjoy with their parents. For ages 5-16. Each child must register before the event. For more information and to register visit www.cumberlandrivercompact.org/events_catfishrodeo.shtml
