Sep. 23—The residents of Legacy at Town Creek enjoyed some catch and release therapy Thursday, Sept. 21.
Thursday was the first day of Legacy's two-day "Let's Go Fishing" event. This is a much-looked forward to annual event for many residents.
Huddled around a three-foot pool supplied with 400 pounds of catfish, residents enjoy two days of fishing and cheering each other on.
Some residents, who won't participate in other events, will fish both days the pool is provided.
Staff members also enjoy the event and look forward to fishing with residents during the two-day fishing derby. In fact, employees of Legacy host an annual hamburger sale fundraiser to pay for the fishing tank.
Let's Go Fishing is a company out of Austin. It has provided the fish, equipment and pool for the event for more than a decade.
The catfish are sold at the end of the event with proceeds benefiting next year's fishing event.
