Fishing derby and family fun day at Aylmer Marina

Taylor Clark

The ice fishing derby and river activities provided a weekend of fun for Aylmer families, March 2 and 3. This tradition lives through social changes in town, and all kinds of weather. The above-normal temperatures meant wet conditions for ice fishing. Folks gathered at the Aydelu center for celebrations with a big meal and festivities.
