 Chad Webb, Mountain Comprehensive Care in the City of Pikeville will be hosting a free Fishing with Kids event this weekend. Wednesday, Mountain Top spoke with Director of Outdoor Recreation Patrick Collins and Founder Chad Webb about how your kid can get involved. You know, growing up in Eastern Kentucky, it's easy to get into trouble in this area, mainly out of boredom. And one thing that kept me out of trouble and kept my head on straight growing up was the outdoors, you know, hunting and fishing. And, you know, a lot of people are not necessarily have parents that fish, and a lot of times the kids are just not introduced to that sport or that activity. And just this event right here could introduce, you know, last year they had over 2,000 kids here. So, you know, even if a very small percentage of those, you know, gain a love and a hobby for the rest of their life, something that they can do. And it's just, it's great. We are Pikeville Medical Center, and we are an amazing place to work, healthcare heroes of all types work here, all who deserve great rewards. So while our heroes are working hard to take care of our patients and visitors, we are taking care of them with top-tier benefits, higher pay rates, and great sign-on bonuses. So join our team today. So what are you waiting for? Apply today! Incredible opportunities await at PMCjobs.org. Kids joining the event will receive a free fishing pole, bait, and hooks while supplies last. Collins mentions additional door prizes and competitions as well. Yeah, we'll be doing some couple different kayaks, couple bicycles. That's what the city will be contributing to the event, as well as just being there to help. But we'll also have a casting competition this year, as one thing Chad and I talked about, and there'll be a separate prize for the casting competition. So there'll be different types of gear, you know, spin cast versus open face so the kids can choose what pole they feel most comfortable with for that competition. But just be a little something else to add to it to make a little bit more competitive than it already is, just to make it a little more fun for the kids. In the spirit of giving kids a lifetime hobby, Webb mentions the impact fishing can have on a kid. I know how a fishing has affected my life and how important it is to me, and it's just, you can't keep it if you don't give it away, you know what I mean? I just like to share my love for the outdoors with a new generation and hopefully teach them some ethics and stuff along with that. The Fishing with Kids event will take place at the Pikeville Pond behind City Hall. The event begins June 4th from 4 to 8 p.m. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Cordrell.
