Plymouth 400 Inc., the nonprofit that’s planning the town’s 400th anniversary in 2020, recently hired a new managing director, Alexandra Rollins. The group has two fund-raisers coming up. The second annual Plymouth 400 Bass & Blue Fishing Tournament will be held July 13 and 14, and anglers of all ages can compete to win cash, trophies, and ribbon prizes. It costs $40 for adults to enter; $20 for children under age 15; and free for children under age 7. Contestants can fish in any Massachusetts waters, but they must bring their catch to the weigh-in station at the state boat ramp in Plymouth (behind the East Bay Grille restaurant on the town wharf). Anglers, as well as the land-loving general public, are also invited to attend the “captains and crews meeting and dinner” this Thursday from 6:30 to 11 p.m. at the Union Fish restaurant at Brewer Plymouth Marine at 14 Union St. in Plymouth. Tickets are $40. Attendees will receive an official tournament T-shirt. “It’s open to anybody who wants to come,” said Peter Balboni, one of the organizers. Registration for the fishing tournament and dinner tickets are available online at www.plymouthma400.org.
