DNR State Fair Fishin' Pond
2023-07-28 09:30 - 2023-08-20 19:30 | Indiana State Fairgrounds, 1200 E. 38th Street, Indianapolis, IN, 46205, United States
Fishing Volunteers Needed! Have a few hours of fun helping children learn the joy of catching fish.
The 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.
Registration 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.
See the story on WISH-TV. And, double the fun by sticking around to catch a show on the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage.
