This summer, families across Pickerington gathered at Sycamore Creek Park Pond for one of the most anticipated events of the year—the 19th Annual Youth Fishing Derby. We were thrilled to join the fun as proud sponsors of this amazing community tradition!
From the first cast to the final weigh-in, the morning was filled with smiles, laughter, and a little friendly competition. Kids ages 6 to 14 tried their luck at catching the big one, while parents and neighbors cheered from the shore. Prizes were awarded for the most fish caught and the biggest catch of the day—but every young angler walked away with new memories made right here in our community.

Why We Love Being Part of This Tradition

At Don Shaffer & The Shaffer Team, real estate has always been about more than houses—it’s about people and the community we call home. Sponsoring the Fishing Derby is just one of the ways we stay connected and give back to Pickerington families.
Events like this bring neighbors together, encourage kids to try new things, and remind us all why Pickerington is such a special place to live. Supporting traditions that strengthen community ties is something we’re proud to be a part of.
