Wiggle and Giggle set for Saturday

The annual kid fishing derby put on by the Farmington Parks and Recreation department will happen this Saturday.

Wiggle and Giggle Kid Fishing Derby will start at 7:30 a.m. with registration. The whistle will blow to begin fishing at 8 a.m., with the final whistle sounding at 11 a.m. As in past years, the fishing derby will be held at Hager Lake in the west-side industrial park.
