Cool down with DNR this weekend at State Fair

Indiana DNR Release:

With more heat headed our way for the State Fair this weekend, make sure to make the air-conditioned Natural Resources Building a frequent stop during your visit.

On Friday, the DNR’s Roving Naturalist will assist the A.C. by talking about Ice age animals to anyone who’ll listen between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. During the same hours on Saturday, the naturalist will talk about bird watching. Sunday’s 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. subject will be how to Leave No Trace when in the outdoors.

That’s not cool enough for you? On Friday, check information about Lake Michigan shipwrecks from 2 to 4 p.m. on the building’s front porch, the same location at which you can see fly-tying demonstrations from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Sunday at 2 p.m., make sure to have your kids at the building’s Front Porch enjoy the breeze as Smokey Bear blows out candles during his birthday party.

Follow DNR activities at the State Fair at the DNR's State Fair blog and photos and on Facebook at Facebook.com/Indnr.
