Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Kids Fishing Day 2011 |
||
About
May 13, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. more than 150 students from the Twin Cities enjoyed a day of fishing with staff from Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Friends of Minnesota Valley, the Red Lake Nation and volunteers from partner organizations. Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge hosted its 20th Annual Youth Fishing Day at the Bass Ponds Environmental Study Area. The day-long event was a tremendous success. During the morning, 150 inner city children were bused in for a day of fun and learning. The Red Lake Nation provided lunch for those attending the morning event, and General Mills donated fishing rods for the kids to take home. Kids also left with a gift bag full of fishing information and tackle - everything needed for them to begin fishing on their own. |
