Due to last week’s extremely enthusiastic winds, a red oak tree has decided to make itself at home on the roof of Powder Horn Lodge. As a result, derby headquarters will now be held at Grand View Lodge this year.

A Lasting Tribute to John and Eileen Riedman
While John Riedman’s philanthropic legacy spans many causes, the Powder Mills Fish Hatchery held a special place in his heart.
After the Hatchery closed amid county budget cuts, The Riedman Foundation stepped in – helping reopen it and sustaining it as a public resource for the community. To learn more about the history of the Hatchery, please visit the About page.
