NEW BERLIN – The 18th annual Chenango Lake Perch Derby scheduled for February 4 has been postponed until February 18 due to lack of ice. To pre-register for the Oxford Lion Club’s Perch Derby and become eligible for the $1,000 grand prize, visit www.oxfordlions.org or stop in to Mayhood's Sporting Goods in Norwich.

In the event that the Perch Derby is cancelled due to insufficient ice, the grant prize will be raffled off to those who have pre-registered.

The Oxford Lions Club reports that this year prizes will be awarded every 15 minutes to the angler who has caught the largest perch in the time span. Any angler who wins a 15-minute prize will be entered to win the $1,000 grand prize.
