Sarah Turner (L), wife of Nathan Turner, and her good friend Karen Sheehan, pose for a picture at the annual Nathan Turner Fishing Derby at Hickory Lane Campground Saturday. The annual event was started several years ago by the Lincoln D.A.R.E. When Nathan died in 2010, the Turner family joined with the D.A.R.E program in sponsoring the event in his honor.
