Cabela's hosts Blood Pressure 4 Kids Fish Derby

On Saturday, the National Pediatric Blood Pressure Awareness Foundation came to Cabela's to put on their fifth annual Cabela's Blood Pressure 4 Kids Fish Derby.

This event was created by the organization to bring about awareness of blood-pressure issues in children and the need to increase screenings.

In Saturday's derby, kids were able to take to the Cabela's pond for a morning of fishing. There was also music, games and food--which included delicious funnel cakes. At the end of the event, there were prizes given for the biggest fish caught for each age-group.

However, the most important activity of the day was the free blood-pressure screenings for the kids.

The NPBPAF provided registered nurses to screen any children over the age of 3.
