Indiana Bass Federation Youth – Conservation – Fishing
The Indiana Bass Federation will be helping DNR again this year with the Hoosier Outdoor Experience held at Fort Harrison State Park. This two day event will be held on September 15th & 16th. The Federation will be conducting Kids Casting events both days. This is a FREE event to all participants. Please visit the website link above, for more information about this fantastic family event. Plan on bringing your whole family to enjoy a day outdoors. DNR does this at NO COST to the public at all. This is an event you can’t afford to miss. This too is a great event that IBF dads, (or moms), can work an event side by side with a son or daughter or even grandson or granddaughter . It also qualifies as an event for the State Team.
Please contact me as soon as possible. This is an all day event so I need at least 10 volunteers each day to help.
Thank You;

The 2011 Hoosier Outdoor Experience was a success with more than 20,000 people enjoying the activities. The Experience is Indiana’s largest, hands-on outdoor recreation event. Featuring more than 50 activities and 120 grassroots partners, the free weekend provided opportunities to learn about the great Indiana outdoors.
