The top prize for the Derby has been announced.

The Meredith Rotary Club’s Great Ice Fishing Derby, scheduled for the weekend of February 7-8, 2009, will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2009. Derby Chairman Larry Schultz has just announced the grand prize for the Derby.
“This year’s grand prize is spectacular,” according to Schultz. The 2009 Derby Winner (the person with the heaviest Meredith Rotary tagged rainbow trout) will win the grand prize of an 18-foot Pioneer Sport fiberglass boat with a 90HP Suzuki 4-stroke engine and a Tidewater trailer. The prize package also includes a casting chair, tackle box, prop, and fish finder with depth sounder. The prize packaged is valued at $23,000 and is provided by David Hamblet and Y Landing Marina. Other top tier prizes will be announced in the coming weeks. The Ice Fishing Derby is one of the top fund-raising events in the state, bringing visitors to New Hampshire from all over the country. Fisherman, their families and friends come to New Hampshire in hopes of snagging the heaviest Meredith Rotary-tagged rainbow trout claiming the grand prize. Hundreds of other prizes are awarded throughout the Derby.
Throughout the years, The Meredith Rotary Club has donated more than $1.5 million back into the Lakes Region community for charitable projects, area improvements, scholarships and to individuals and families in need.
Derby tickets will go on sale on the Meredith Rotary Club website in early October, and more information is available by calling The Meredith Rotary Club at 603-279-7600.
