MEREDITH — The Rotary Club has announced that Fishing Derby tickets purchased online at its Web site will be discounted to $25 per ticket during the period of October 1 — November 20. The Derby is scheduled for the weekend of February 12 — 13, 2011.
“The $30 price for Derby tickets has been unchanged since 2003,” according to Bob Walker, chairman of the 2011 Fishing Derby. “We want to provide a little incentive to the ice fishing community to visit our Web site and purchase tickets early. Additionally, this year our Derby Deals program will include a coupon book with the purchase of each ticket. Local restaurants and shops in the Lakes Region will provide discounts to individuals presenting Derby Deals coupons, and the value in savings is worth hundreds of dollars.”
The Ice Fishing Derby is one of the most well-attended events in the State, bringing visitors from all over the country. Fisherman, their families, and friends come to New Hampshire in hopes of snagging the heaviest Meredith Rotary-tagged rainbow trout and claiming the grand prize. Hundreds of other prizes are awarded throughout the Derby weekend, but you don’t have to be a fisherman to win prizes or take advantage of the discounts.
Information on all aspects of the Derby can be found on the Rotary Web site: www.meredithrotary.org.
