Approximately 2,000 trout will be stocked, including tagged prize fish. Prize fishing ends at 3 p.m. Those who fish must observe all Pennsylvania Fish Commission regulations. It is also PFBC Fish for Free Day (no license required).
Chicken dinners will be available from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Other food and refreshments will start at 11 a.m. and will include hot dogs, walking tacos, elk burgers, pulled pork, smoked brisket sandwiches, chicken nuggets, fresh cut fries, hot sausage, nachos and cheese, desserts, funnel cake, fried Oreos, fried dough and shaved ice.
