SHUBENACADIE: Approximately 100 participants came out to take part in the annual Cory’s Lil Anglers fishing derby at Shubenacadie River Park.

It’s done in memory of Cory Boudreau and put on by friends.

The event raises money to allow the Learn to Fish program to be put on.

This year’s event was held on an overcast day with Mother Nature holding off on the rain until around lunch time.
