FISHING DERBY Sarah Ford for Shaw Media
Sisters Alyssah, 14, and Amyiah Padia, 10, of Prophetstown were hoping to reel in some fish during the 16th annual Dick Brown Fishing Derby hosted by the Prophetstown Police Department on Saturday, June 18, at Prophetstown State Park. The girls were trying their luck at the boat launch ramp, where their younger brother Draiden had almost caught a fish earlier. See page 2.
