FISHIN’ WITH FRAN
Visit Fran and her four-legged friend, Silvie, at the market today to get the latest recommendations on consumption of recreationally-caught fish from local waters. Contamination from chemicals are found in many foods, but don’t give up on fish! Eating fish is good for you, and part of a healthy diet. Learn where you can take the whole family fishing, and bring your catch home for a family dinner.
Learn how to identify fish species, and go home with free activity books for the kids with a special reward, and fishing maps of local waters. Bring your cell phone for a selfie at our BIG FISH photo frame!
