The third annual C.A.S.T. for Kids free fishing event, presented by Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, will take place at Wild Duck Marina at Lake Brownwood from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 15.

C.A.S.T. for Kids is designed to provide children with disabilities, ages 6 and older, the opportunity to enjoy a quality outdoor recreational experience through the sport of fishing. A free fishing gear fun pack is included that consists of a rod & reel, tackle box, event T-shirt, cap, photo and plaque.

According to the official website, “C.A.S.T. for Kids events include lots of fun and celebration. You can expect 2-3 hours of fishing, a delicious lunch and an awards celebration where your child will receive a personalized plaque. The event will start at 8:00am and will end at 12:00pm.  Please note a parent or guardian must be present with your child for the entirety of the event. If you are volunteering for this event you should expect about 5-6 hours of time at event, arriving before participants and staying after to help wrap things up. This is a day of fishing the children, families and volunteers will never forget.”
