PASCACK VALLEY—The 31st Annual Friends of the Pascack Brook Kids Fishing Contest set for Saturday, April 29 has been postponed due to anticipated poor weather.

The Borough of Hillsdale broke the disappointing news Thursday morning. It says to watch its website for updates.

When it returns, the contest will invite kids age 4–16 to fish Pascack Brook between St. John R.C. Church in Hillsdale and Brookside Place in Westwood. There will be trophies and prizes for the largest trout caught for each age group.

Two storms are predicted for our area: Forecasters predict that the first will hit Friday with steady rain and localized flash flooding across the Garden State. A second storm, coming Sunday into Monday, could bring thunderstorms and more high winds.
