Our own local project is the Hammond Optimist Youth Sports Complex and our affiliation with Hammond Optimist Youth Sports. The complex and program is named for us due to the contributions to develop the park and our yearly support of the HOYS program.

One
of the most exciting events of the year for kids and adults alike!
Held annually in August during Hammond's Festival of the Lakes,
children from all over the area congregate at Wolf lake to receive
free fishing rods/reels and expert fishing advice from our co-sponsor,
Mik-Lurch Bait & Tackle. A ceremony at the conclusion of the
event awards trophies based on biggest fish for different species/age
groups. Fun event that see's many kids come back each year!
