HARRISON — Sixty-six children registered for the Harrison Recreation Department third annual Youth and Family Ice Fishing Derby on Feb. 25 and 26.

There was 13 inches of ice on the cove at the head of Long Lake to safely conduct the derby sanctioned by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
