(VALLEY STREAM, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Cynthia Nuñez (D – Valley Stream) joined the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream for their annual Family Fishing Weekend at Hendrickson Park Lake. During the event, participants received instruction on fishing fundamentals from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and then took part in catch-and-release fishing with barbless hooks.
“It was great to spend the day with local families as we enjoyed the outdoors together and learned all about fishing in such a beautiful local setting – I even had the chance to cast a line myself!” Legislator Nuñez said. “Thank you to the Village of Valley Stream, the New York State DEC, and everyone who is responsible for making this tradition possible year after year.”
