Rain, hail and wind could not keep young anglers from participating in the 29th annual Beaver Park Fishing Derby on May 4 in Lisbon. The derby has become a family tradition for many families with fathers, sons or daughters having grown up as participants. The derby is made possible by the generosity of local businesses, organizations and individuals who donate prizes and funds to purchase brook trout to stock the Middle Pond.
