OZARK —Get ready for a “reel” good time as the Dale County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) prepares to hold its annual Youth Fishing Rodeo. Local families are invited to bring their children so the kids can take part in this event planned for Saturday, April 25.
The event is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and is open to children ages 15 and under. It will take place at the Dale Medical Surgery Center, providing a morning of outdoor fun and community engagement for young anglers.
