Salem Club Holds Fishing Rodeo
by Bud Plymale

We completed a yearly project for the City of Salem Recreation Department. A Fishing Rodeo is held at the Duck Pond in downtown Salem. This Rodeo was organized a long time ago to honor one of our members and one of our state congressmen. The gentlemen's name as we all knew him was Earnest "Pig" Robertson. He loved kids and was very popular in our city of Salem. Our Kiwanis Club helps to buy a large supply of fish to stock the pond for the Rodeo. The Rodeo is held on two Saturdays in May. The first Saturday is for 6-11 year old kids and the second Saturday is for 12-16 year old kids. Our club cooks and serves hot dogs with chips and cold drinks on the side. They all love the hot dogs. We all love to see the hugh smiles on the kids' faces when they catch a big 12"-15" trout fish and it is doing its best to get away from everyone. Some of they kids come out with a string of fish that would make a grown-up proud. This is a big day for the kids in our city. This is only one our many projects each year that keep us active in our organization.
