Teen club members showed younger kids fishing techniques in the trout fishing pond for kids. Young anglers also participated in an official ESPN BASS Casting Kids Competition. The Virginia Trappers Association promoted Project Healing Waters which provides rehabilitative fishing opportunities for wounded veterans, cancer survivors and others with disabilities. VDGIF and other conservation organizations provided information on the great fishing and skill building workshop opportunities statewide. There were seminars on all kinds of fishing and VDGIF Volunteer Boating Education Instructors conducted boater safety classes throughout the weekend.
