Hayes State Park and Midwest Sportsman are sponsoring two "GO-Get Outdoors" charity fishing tournaments on Wamplers Lake this summer to benefit the Michigan National Guard Family Fund Program.

The first fishing tournament is scheduled for Sunday, May 31, with the second tournament planned for Saturday, Sept. 19. Both tournaments will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All anglers are welcome to participate. Cost is $80 for each two-person team; with $10 going into a "Big Bass" pot. Prizes will be awarded for various categories. Once event costs are covered, remaining proceeds will go to the Michigan National Guard Family Fund to help the men and women who are serving our country.

"The Michigan National Guard Family Fund has helped so many military families from our great state," said Rick Pulver, tournament director. "This is our second year at Hayes State Park, and we want to invite all anglers to support this great cause."
