FREE PARK SATURDAY/TAKE A KID FISHING WEEKEND

June is a great outdoors month in Minnesota and the DNR is urging adults to get kids out to wet a line.  It’s Take-A-Kid Fishing Weekend where adults don’t have to have a fishing license if they take a child 15-years-old or younger with them to fish.  Take-A-Kid fishing starts today (Friday) and continues through Sunday.  The DNR says fishing has a multi-billion effect on Minnesota’s economy and by taking kids fishing, you are creating future anglers for the state.  It’s also Free Park Saturday where admission is free to all state park and recreation areas.
