Last Saturday, Pacific Power and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife joined together to host the 24th annual Merwin Day of Fishing for Kids with Disabilities at the Merwin Fish Hatchery near Woodland, Washington. The event brought together over 200 children and 300 family members and volunteers. Participants were each able to catch up to five fish, which were then cleaned and put on ice while they enjoyed a celebratory barbeque. As one participant noted, it is the "best day of the year."
