Texas Junior Anglers - Saturday, April 27
Not so very long ago, Colleyville was a rural community. In those days, when not working
on the farm or in the orchards, boys and girls may have spent their days fishing with
family and friends. Most of the farms and orchards are gone now--but there's still fishing!
The Texas Junior Anglers event, scheduled for Saturday, April 27, at the Colleyville
Nature Center from 9:00 a.m. until noon, brings those days back to life for new
generations of Colleyville kids. And, just like old times, the fishing is still free. Poles and
bait will be provided at no charge and no prior fishing experience is necessary. The Junior
Anglers event is geared for those 16 years of age and under-and assistance from parents
and grandparents is both encouraged and appreciated.
The Colleyville Nature Center is located at 100 Mill Wood Drive, off of Glade Road, west of
Colleyville Boulevard. For more information, call 817.503.1180.
