Fly to DNR amphitheater at State Fair

Indiana DNR Release:


Two often-misunderstood flyers of Indiana’s skies will be featured at the DNR’s Amphitheater Wednesday at the State Fair in Indianapolis, adjacent to the Natural Resources Building.
“Indiana’s Bats: Myth and Reality” will be offered at 1 p.m. At 4:30 p.m., attendees will get to spend “An Evening with a Red-Tailed Hawk.”

The fun continues at the amphitheater Thursday with the always-popular Take Flight Live Raptor Show at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. On Friday, watch for “Indiana Birds of Prey,” featuring live raptors from Hardy Lake Raptor Center, which hits the stage at the amphitheater

As with all DNR activities at the State Fair, these shows are free upon entry into the fairgrounds.

The activities at the DNR Amphitheater and the adjacent Kids Fishin’ Pond are sponsored by Citizens Energy.

Inside the air-conditioned Natural Resources Building, guests can view fish in aquariums, learn about various DNR programs, pick up free copies of the latest Recreation Guide and many other informational brochures, subscribe to Outdoor Indiana magazine at a State Fair special deal, ask questions of DNR experts, visit Mother Nature’s Mercantile to purchase unique outdoors-based items, and much more.
