The Vernonia cardlock will be shut down during
changeover to the new facility, probably Aug. 5-6. In
order to avoid disruption of service to our customers, as
much as possible, we will provide a diesel fueling truck
at the cardlock on those days, with hours of service to be
announced.

It may not be big, but he baited his own hook, cast his line
and caught a fish that was counted in last year’s fishing
derby.
The Izaac Walton League
Kid’s Fishing Derby kicks off
the Jamboree weekend, Friday
night, August 2, at Vernonia
Lake. This event has been a
favorite of participants and
spectators. Registration is at
4:00 p.m. The competition
begins at 5:00 p.m. and con
tinues until 7:00 p.m.
Children compete in a num
ber of categories, including the
most fish, or the largest fish.
There will be six winners in
each of the following age
groups: children five years and
under, six through nine years,
and 10-14. In addition to the
six winners in each age group,
there will be a prize for having
the longest fish.
Crappie, blue gill and perch
are the only fish eligible for this
competition. Participants are
expected to supply their own
bait and tackle.
Children five years and
under may be assisted by an
adult in baiting their hooks
and/or removing fish from the
hooks, but the children must
catch their own fish.
The participants of the
Fishing Derby aren’t the only
ones who have a good time,
though. Spectators are also
entertained as the excited chil
dren watch their catches being
measured and counted.
There are many prizes for
winners in the competition,
including sleeping bags, fishing
poles or other gear, and tro
phies for the winners, but no
child will leave empty-handed.
Participants will each get a
popsicle.
The
Jamboree
Fishing
Derby is sponsored by the
Nehalem Valley Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League and is co
sponsored by The INDEPEN
DENT, Dennis Electric, Inc.
