A central Illinois lawmaker invites young anglers to Weldon Springs this weekend for a youth fishing derby.

State Senator Sally Turner is hosting a free fishing derby for kids of all ages on Saturday at Weldon Springs State Park. She is partnering with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to help lead this event. 

No registration is required and again it is a free fish derby on Saturday from 10 am to noon. If you do not have your own fishing equipment, it will be provided for you. Get more information by contacting Sen. Turner's office at 217-651-8291.
