Our free family-fun event serves to unite young and old alike in the education and sharing with other like-minded individuals, the knowledge, safety skills, and experiences gained through hunting and fishing. Sharing the experiences that make our sporting way of life a special privilege is quite possibly the most important thing we can do. Seeing to it that others understand our history and our role as conservationists is the only sure way that what hunters and anglers have fought for over 100 years will continue to be in good hands.

Make sure to visit the ISRA Booth!
