Fish with Whitehall mayor this weekend
WHITEHALL, Ohio (WCMH) – Whitehall's mayor is sharing his love for family and fishing.
Mayor Michael Bivens said he picked up fishing about 20 years ago. When he isn't in the office or at a community event, he likes to get away and cast a line.
This Saturday, he's launching the first Father's Day Fishing with Mayor Bivens, a free event.
On Wednesday, Dick's Sporting Goods dropped off several fishing poles at Whitehall City Hall that participants can use this weekend.
'Fishing itself is peaceful,' Bivens said. 'It's a way to get out in nature, it's a way to experience life without electronics. Come out and try to catch a fish. Remember, it's called 'fishing,' not 'catching.''
Participants will meet at Whitehall Community Park's lower-level parking lot before heading down to Big Walnut Creek.
The event is open to people of all ages and runs from 9 a.m. – noon.
