There is a renewed energy emanating from Main Street Seeley’s Bay. Local merchants recently gave it their all to host a great event to get kids out fishing.

Co-owner of Fisherman’s Hardware and Auto Corey Mattice only opened his business at the beginning of June but coordinated the event with help from his wife and many other community-minded folks around town. Almost every business in the little lakefront community – and others from as far away as Napanee – donated what they could so that 75 young people could enjoy the day at the lake. Top Bass prizes went to Sydney Cox at 3.2 lb., and Taylin Vankoughnett with 3.1 lb. Buffy won the Pike division with a 3.5-pounder narrowly edging Spencer’s fish of 2.9 lb. Kauden St-Cyr also caught a catfish.

Our Lakes plans to bring you more on the increasing excitement around Seeley’s Bay as events are occurring there with more regularity.

For now, congratulations to Jane Billings, who won the grand prize draw for a week’s stay in a cabin at Sunny Acres Resort.
