What: 200 EVSC Students Participate in 9th Annual Catchin’ with Capin
When: Now through noon
Where: Lake by Cracker Barrel and Sweet Water on the east side.
More than 200 students are trying their luck at fishing this morning for the ninth annual Catchin’ with Capin event. The students will be fishing with Capin at the lake behind Cracker Barrel and Sweet Water on Evansville’s east side.
Background: The event was begun in 2007, by then Harrison senior Kyle Capin, who wanted to give his friends with special needs the same experiences and love for fishing that he has. In the first year – only about 32 students from Harrison High School were in attendance. But now, the event has grown and includes students from many area schools. Kyle also has received the local Jefferson Award through Leadership Evansville, for this event.
