The Ed’s Kids Casting Contest is sponsored by Herrington’s Lumber, the
Hudson River Fisherman’s Association volunteer’s every year to assist 30 to
40 individuals with developmental disabilities, and there are free hamburgers
and hot dogs, music and 93.5 WCCR I-heart Radio making for a wonderful
day in Dutchman’s Landing Park right on the Hudson River in Catskill, NY.
“This year I am introducing a new category dedicated to our Wounded
Warrior community” said Brad Poster, Executive Director of the United Way
of Columbia and Greene Counties. “In concert with the Wounded Warrior
Program out of New York City and the Warriors in Motion Program at the
Adaptive Sports Foundation in Windham, New York, the contest will be
providing these veterans with a full day of fishing and a rewarding experience”.
The United Way of Columbia and Greene Counties has been working to
improve the lives of families and people in our two counties since 1931. Be a
“community supporter” by being part of our annual Catfish Derby. Every year
