Who can participate in the 2009 Kids' Derby?

Any kid in the following age divisions:

• Age: 5-7
• Age: 8-10
• Age:11-13
• Age:14-16

How do I register?

You don't need to register to fish. To register, catch a fish, then bring it to the weigh-in station. There we'll take your name, fish weight, and then give you a ticket for the BBQ/door prize. If available, we'll also give you a free t-shirt.

What if I don't catch a fish?

Come by the weigh-in station anyway, and let us know that you tried. We'll still give you a ticket to the BBQ.

When & where do I weigh my fish?

Between 10:00am and 5:00pm on Saturday, July 18. Valdez Fish Derbies' weigh-in station is located next to the Harbormaster's office at the Valdez Harbor.

What will Valdez Fish Derbies do with my picture?

Valdez Fish Derbies will take a photo of every child that weighs a fish. If parent/guardian signs a release form, the photo will be posted on the VFD website. Winner pictures will be released to the media only if parent/guardian over the age of 18 has signed the release.
