PJ President Chuck Kleckley with
Christian Kitzmiller,
winner of the "Fishing for a Name"
contest
The Coastal Conservation
Association and the Police Jury held a "We're
Fishing for a Name" contest open to all 5th grade
elementary school classes in the parish to find a
name for the new public boat launch and recreation
facility being constructed at the Industrial Canal.
Christian Kitzmiller from St. John Elementary School
was the winner with the name "Calcasieu Point
Landing." He and other winners were awarded
with a fishing rod and reel, and a fishing trip on
the lake. The Police Jury formally approved
the name for the boat launch and park at its'
regular meeting on May 1, 2003.
Funding for the project is from a NOAA Grant and
Calcasieu Parish funds.
