For the past 65 years the Dolan-Jones-Martino Post 304 American Legion
of Jim Thorpe and the Germantown Grove Club have hosted a Fishing Derby
for special needs kids in our area. Panther Valley students have been
attending since 1995. The students enjoy fishing in the stream with the
expert guidance of the volunteers, playing outside on the gorgeous
grounds, and hanging out with friends from many school districts. The
students are treated to a delicious lunch and many prizes and gifts. For
the past few years many of the students have chosen to donate their
fish to the Carbon County Environmental Education Center to help feed
the birds of prey. Students from the LifeSkills and ES classrooms will
be enjoying the 66th year of this event again this year on May 7th and
8th 2020
