Events & Activities Seekonk Lions Club’s Tenth Annual Doug Allan Memorial Fishing Tournament
Are we getting ready for the spring season? It will be only a few more weeks before it is time to break out the fishing poles. Ready to catch some trout, win some great prizes and have fun? The Seekonk Lions Club’s Tenth Annual Doug Allan Memorial Fishing Tournament will be on Patriots Day Monday, April 18, 2022 at the Old Grist Mill Pond RT 114A in Seekonk 9:00am until 11:00am. Open for all children through high school in the area. Ten years! Image that! A great milestone that started out with 30 kids back in 2012. A small Fishing Derby at the Grist Mill Pond. This derby thorough out the years has grown with many more kids and parents being a part of a fun morning filled with anxiety, caffeine, hot chocolate and excitement! Since 2018, the American Legion Post 311 have sponsored our banquet providing the hall for anglers to sit down and relax while enjoying Chick-fil -A sandwiches with cookies, chips and drinks. We would like to see all our fellow anglers back this year and some new ones as well. We will have a great time with great fishing with some great prizes as always! Any questions or if you would like to help/donate or volunteer please email seekonkfishingtournament@yahoo.com. Remember there is no charge. Just come with your fishing poles, that special bait you may have, and catch some fish!
