GOSHEN- Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler announced the end of the Third District Attorney’s Office Youth Fishing Derby. The Derby ran from April 1, 2023, through September 4, 2023, and was open to children between the ages of four and 18 who are children or grandchildren of Orange County residents. Winners will be picked next week and notified of their win. District Attorney Hoovler thanked all of the participants and wishes them good luck as the winners are selected.
The Fishing Derby is part of District Attorney Hoovler’s community outreach program. The Fishing Derby encourages the youth of Orange County to participate in an exciting outdoor sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. It is that boredom and anxiety that has led so many of our young people to turn to drug use or gang activity. Sports and other worthwhile activities can help deter young people from those bad choices. The Derby encourages our young people to go fishing and enjoy the outdoors and hopefully avoid drug use.
PRIZE PACKAGE: Each winner will receive an Orange County District Attorney’s Office limited t-shirt and a Mystery Tackle Box Bass Fishing Kit. Bonus prize: The first winner drawn will also receive a $100 gift card. Prizes can be picked up at the District Attorney’s Office by the winners in Goshen or will be mailed to them at the conclusion of the contest.
