INDIANAPOLIS — Summer is here, and preparations for the Indiana State Fair are underway. If you’re looking for a fun way to get involved and give back, consider volunteering at the DNR State Fair Fishin’ Pond.
Volunteer registration is now open, and DNR needs all hands on deck to reel in the next generation of anglers at this popular, hands-on, and free fishing experience for youth ages 5–17. Volunteers are needed throughout the State Fair, which runs Aug. 7–23 in Indianapolis.
Volunteer duties include registering participants, baiting hooks, removing fish from hooks, preparing equipment, and helping guide participants around the pond. Training will be provided by DNR staff before the event. Volunteers also receive free parking and State Fair admission for days worked, and a DNR Fishin’ Pond volunteer T-shirt.
