Scope and content
On October 10, 1937, hundreds gathered in the roped off area in front of the Bremerton Elk's Temple to hear the announcement of the winners of the first Bremerton Community Salmon Derby. Around 250 fishermen had qualified to compete in the five hour derby, with 100 fish being considered for the prizes. J. Earl Schoenberger, a draftsman at the Puget Sound Naval yard, took home first place with his 26 lb. 7 oz salmon. (Bremerton Sun 10-11-1937, pg. 1).
