Beloved Fishing Contest Returns To Mendham: See Details

MENDHAM, NJ — The Mendham Borough Police Benevolent Association's Fishing Frenzy will be returning this weekend.

Participants can expect free food and drinks, including snacks and ice cream. Fishing poles and bait will also be provided, but supplies are limited, so organizers ask participants to bring their own poles if possible.
