The Cargill/PNC Fishing Derby will take place along the Ohio & Erie Canal at Wilbeth Road on Oct. 6. The derby is an educational "hands-on" event for Akron Public Schools children to teach them a new hobby and the importance of environmental stewardship. The derby is free, and the coalition provides refreshments and interpretive programming. For more information and how to register, visit
