From the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife:

The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is informing the public that the annual Pequest Open House will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 27 & 28. The dates within the 2010 Freshwater Fishing DIGEST are not correct. We apologize for any confusion.

The Open House is a free event usually held the weekend before the opening of the spring trout season (April 10 in 2010); this year it will be a week earlier to avoid conflicts with Easter weekend activities. The event features exhibits, displays and demonstration as well as the popular Fishing Flea Market. Youngsters have the opportunity to fish in the Fishing Education Pond or Kiddie Fishing Tank depending on their age.

More information on the Open House will be available on the division's website in February at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/peqoh.htm.
