Have a few hours of fun helping children learn the joy of catching fish.\nThe DNR State Fishin’ Pond\, started in 2006\, gives children ages 5-17 the chance to fish for free during the State Fair. Each year\, thousands of kids fish at the pond. For many of them\, it is their first fishing experience. The program would not be such a success without the help of wonderful volunteers. \nRegistration for State Fair Fishin’ Pond shifts occurs from mid-May through mid-August. Would you like to volunteer? DNR recruits hundreds of people to help during the fair. Volunteers receive free admission to the fair\, a free T-shirt\, and the opportunity to fish with kids for a few hours at the pond. If you don’t like touching worms\, getting fishy\, or standing in the sun\, we also have other volunteer needs. The pond has four volunteer stations\, and each volunteer session is four hours. \nSee the story on WISH-TV. And\, double the fun by sticking around to catch a show on the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage. \n>>>> Registration is Required to Volunteer <<<<\n\nVolunteer Details:\n\nIndiana State Fairgrounds\n1202 E 38th St\nIndianapolis\, IN 46205\nThe fishing pond is located next to the DNR building.
