WW lakes.jpg CASS COUNTY - PHOTO OF THE WEEK

     The sun sets on another great day in Cass County - especially for anyone fishing in this or any of our well-stocked lakes and ponds. This pond may not be the biggest, but it brings big smiles to the many kids who fish here throughout the summer months. I can only imagine how many of our residents caught their first fish in one of these ponds in the middle of the county. Have you been here, and do you know the name of the park where you can find this pond? Be sure to stop by and don't forget your RV.
