To whom it may concern:

This year we will not be able to hold our Youth Fishing Derby.  We feel it's in the best interest to cancel this years gathering.  We don't want to put any pressure on our sponsors and most of all keep our children safe.  Hopefully we will be able to pick it back up next year.

This year, the Black Rock Bass Busters will be holding its annual Youth Day fishing derby at Rings pond in the Town of Cornwall, NY.  The Black Rock Bass Busters are very proud to say we have been sponsoring this long standing event for over 25 years!  Youth Day will be Saturday, June 18th, 2022 with a rain date of the 19^th of June.  This event is open to children ages 5 through 14.  All age groups will receive prizes. With top prizes for the most and largest fish caught.

          We need help to make this event a success for the children.  We need donations to be able to purchase prizes and supplies for the event.  Black Rock Bass Busters is happy to run this special event for the children of our local area, but we cannot do it without your help.  Thank you in advance for your support.     

Any questions, please contact me at: 845-863-4861.  If you would like to mail your check, please mail to the above address.

Please make all checks payable to: Black Rock Bass Busters

Respectfully,
