The Ike Foundation® Family Fun Fest
While anglers are competing on the Chesapeake, The Ike Foundation®, in partnership with Cecil County Tourism, will host a Free Family Fun Fest along the banks of North East Community Park. Past events have included children from the Boys and Girls Club and YMCA of North East, Maryland as well as those from the community. In addition to various games and activities, the kids learn basic fishing skills and catch a variety of species including perch, blue, gill, bass and even catfish. Each child enjoys a free hot dog lunch and leaves with a fishing rod and reel, and a Flambeau tackle box in the hopes they pursue fishing as a hobby.
