A local program that has been making a huge impact to an often overlooked community of people at Roaring River State Park is receiving recognition by the governor this month after almost nine years. Roaring River hatchery staff will be recognized for their contributions through the hatchery's first hole fishing program. Staff will be recognized in Jefferson City on Thursday, January 9, with a Governor's Award for Quality and Productivity in the innovation category.
Roaring River hatchery's First Hole program is a well-known and appreciated program that allows certain groups to fish at the park for free in the first fishing hole near the hatchery's office and pools. The program is open to schools, veteran groups, as well as disabled people. The staff provides education, tackle, poles and help for groups who come to fish at the park as part of the program free of charge.
