Nathan Turner Memorial Fishing Clinic & Derby
Nathan Turner, former city council member and resident of
Lincoln, was an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. He grew up attending
the park district's fishing derby and cared deeply about passing his
love of fishing and the outdoors on to other children. His family
wanted to support the fishing derby to keep his memory alive and
spread his love of fishing and the outdoors. He is survived by his
wife, Sarah; his son, Benjamin; his parents, Dan and Nancy; his
sisters, Janell and Nanette; and many other loving family members.
The free fishing clinic explores the fundamentals and safety
issues of fishing. Herb Drier from the Illinois Department of
Natural Resources will be there with displays and giveaways. He will
teach young anglers how to tie on a hook, casting techniques and the
usage of different baits. There will be drawings for fishing poles
and equipment at the end of the presentation.
The free fishing derby is hosted by the Hickory Lane Campground
near Atlanta. In the past, the pond has been stocked just days
before the event. Prizes will be awarded in several different
categories in this competitive but fun event. The Lincoln Police
Department D.A.R.E program will sponsor the derby. Police Chief Ken
Greenslate will be on hand cooking hot dogs and providing sodas to
the fishermen and their families. Parental approval is a must and
parents are encouraged to attend.
