A decade of conservation work “flies when you’re having a good time.”

Glade Run Lake Conservancy will celebrate its 10th anniversary on August 29.

The event will include food trucks, a fishing competition, a car cruise from Rodfathers, and more.

“We’re going to be talking to people about what we’e done in the past 10 years, and what we’re going to be doing, what our next goal is,” said board member and event coordinator Karlee Holmes.

Local conservation organizations like Wildbird Recovery at Stormy Oaks Nature Conservancy, and the Fish and Boat commission will attend the event and host booths to teach visitors about the lake’s ecosystem. Middlesex Volunteer Fire Company will host a water safety demonstration.

Adults and young people age 12 and up will be able to participate in a catch-photo-release style fishing derby, and will need the FishDonkey app on a smartphone to log their catches. The event is broken down in to two categories: shore fishing and watercraft fishing. Prizes will be awarded for the largest bass, largest stringer of five bluegill, and a “grand slam” of the largest bass, bluegill, and trout.
