Community Fun Event
By Cary Ihme
It was 19 years ago that Ed Saxton helped start the “fishing clinic” in Central City at the William C. Russell Park, where he would teach kids how to fish. The fishing clinic has since evolved into the Father’s Day Fishing Derby sponsored by the Gilpin County Rec Center, The City of Central, and the Central City Elks Lodge. Ed Saxton has not missed one year. He didn’t even miss the year he was not feeling so well but attended the derby anyway, then later ended up at the hospital having heart surgery. That is dedication.
