Join the Richland Center Police and Parks & Recreation Departments for the Cops & Bobbers Fishing Derby Saturday (June 1) at North Park Pond. This is a free family event where you can have fun fishing while getting to know your local officers and recreation department staff. Jared Wilson is a member of the Richland Center Police Department serving as the Community Resource Officer for the Richland School District.

There will also be door prizes, giveaways, and awards for the largest, smallest, and most fish caught.
