The Inaugural Millpond Improvement Association Multi Species Fundraising Fishing Tournament raised nearly $1,300 recently.

According to tournament director Rick O’Konski and MPIA vice president Don Wolford, the tournament drew plenty of participants thanks to its sponsors, donors, volunteers and good weather.

The tournament raised $1,275 which will go toward the upkeep of the pond, dam maintenance and inspection fees.
