Oakley City Councilwoman Claire Alaura called the derby fantastic.

“I was very impressed with the organization and work put in by the city staff and event sponsors, particularly the East County Student Anglers Club. They were really helpful and patient with the kids. It was a great event and I loved seeing the kids’ faces as they received their prizes at the end,” said Alaura. “We will be back next year and hopefully better fisherman by then.”

Councilman Kevin Romick added the event was dominated by ladies.

“Oakley’s 14th Annual Kids Fishing Derby was well attended this year with 140 kids registering, double last years participation. It was a gorgeous day to be out on the water fishing. This years prizes for smallest, largest and most caught, broken into 3 age brackets, were dominated by the young ladies. Thanks to those businesses and organizations that help make it possible,” said Romick.
