Bargains make DNR the place to shop for holiday gifts

Indiana DNR Release:

Outdoor lovers on your gift list are sure to enjoy the holiday offers available from the Department of Natural Resources and so will your wallet.

Before you clip another coupon or fight crowds to get to another store on a given day by a given time, check these holiday specials available at InnsGifts.com.

The DNR $99 steal features a 2010 Annual Resident Entrance Permit, a $50 State Park Inns Gift Certificate, a one-year subscription to Outdoor Indiana magazine and the just-released-this-year DVD "Indiana State Parks: Treasures in Your Own Backyard." This holiday bargain saves the buyer $20 from what the items would cost if purchased separately. Order online or by calling (317) 233-2347 or (317) 233-3046, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., using Visa or MasterCard.

The annual permit gets a carload into 33 state parks and reservoirs throughout 2010. The Inns gift certificate can be used for lodging, golf (at Fort Harrison), meals at the Inns restaurants, and at gift shops at the seven Indiana State Park Inn facilities.

For those who want more specific items, Outdoor Indiana magazine subscriptions, 2010 annual entrance passes, Golden Hoosier passes, lake permits and horse tags are available for purchase at state park and reservoir properties, as are Inns gift certificates. See InnsGifts.com.

Inns gift certificates can be worth twice as much during Indiana State Park Inns 2-for-1 limited time special. Guests can stay two consecutive nights for the price of one. The offer is valid Sunday through Thursday, through Feb. 25, 2010, excluding Dec. 20 - Dec. 31, is subject to availability, and cannot be combined with other discounts.
