That highly popular event will be held on March 4 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

To donate items, call Pierini at 782-9903.

John Riordan of Dayton is home recovering, nicely, from open-heart surgery on Jan. 30 for a double by-pass.

He is the founder of the highly successful John Riordan Annual Topaz Invitational Fishing Derby, which is held every April at Topaz Lake.

This year, that event will be held Apr. 23-25.

Bob Schroeder of Carson City has been faithfully accompanying his fishing group's leader, Gene Phelps, to Walker Lake to fish for Cutthroat.

In the process, he has been "skunked" on most of the outings. Hmmm, maybe he needs a new group leader.
