HARRISON — Mark your calendar for the 2013 Harrison Youth and Family Ice Fishing Derby, once again scheduled for the last weekend of school vacation week, Saturday and Sunday, February 23 and 24 at the Harrison Boat Launch and the Town Office.

Tickets will go on sale the first week in January. This popular family fishing event is sponsored by the Western Maine Fish & Game Club in partnership with Harrison Recreation and IF&W Hooked on Fishing Not On Drugs.

Tickets for the 4x6 Ice Shack are on sale now at the Harrison Town Office. This shack is shrink wrapped, insulated aluminum reinforced with aluminum skis on the bottom and a trailer hitch so can be towed behind a snowmobile or four-wheeler.

The drawing for this shack will be held at the Harrison Town Office Open House and Awards Ceremony at the conclusion of this year’s fishing derby. Tickets cost $2 each, three for $5 or seven for $10.

The person with the winning ticket has the option of choosing the ice shack or $500 in cash. You do not need to be present to win.
