The Marion Lions Club will hold its 57th annual Fish Derby this Saturday. The event which has a long history on the Marion pond, including snowmobile races on the pond, Club members then decided to use the pond for a fishing derby. It started out small, but the fundraiser has grown considerably over the years. In the early days, the Lions gave away a car as the grand prize in the raffle but when cars became too expensive, they changed it to $5,000 cash for the first prize, and then ticket sales really took off.
