LAINGSBURG - Dozens of mid-Michigan firefighters took advantage of
Thursday's sunny skies to go fishing - and raise money for grieving children.
More than 60 firefighters fished from 26 boats on Lake Ovid in
Sleepy Hollow State Park in the second Fishing For Kids fund-raiser organized
by firefighters from six departments.
They hoped to raise about $2,500 for Ele's Place, which aids
children who have lost a loved one. Each firefighter paid a $30 entry fee for
the fishing, a roasted pig dinner and fellowship. They also raised money
through raffles.
Participating were firefighters from the cities of Lansing and East
Lansing and the townships of Delta, Delhi, Meridian and Lansing.
"Typically, firefighters only see each other during emergencies,
but this outing is something fun and helps others, too," said Rob Thompson,
Lansing Township firefighter.

For Kids event Thursday at Sleepy Hollow State Park.
