Volunteer fishing instructors needed at Indiana State Fair
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana State Fair will team up again this summer to introduce kids to fishing at the new fishing pond outside the Natural Resources Building on the State Fairgrounds.
More than 6,200 children and parents learned about and tested their angling skills during the pond's inaugural 2006 year.
Individuals, families, or recreational groups are welcome to help. Groups offering 10 or more volunteers can use the fair pond and amphitheater during open times to showcase their organization.
Volunteers are needed for:
- Fishing guidance at the pond (casting, releasing of catch, baiting hooks, maintaining safety of participants).
- Assisting with hands-on learning and craft activities that pertain to fishing.
- Maintaining fishing equipment during the fair (set-up and care of equipment, tying bobbers and hooks on fishing line).
- Registering kids who are participating in fishing event.
The 2007 Indiana State Fair runs Aug. 8 - 19. The Indiana State Fairgrounds is on the north side of Indianapolis at the intersection of 38th Street and Fall Creek Blvd.
