More than 40 fishing and hunting clubs, conservation organizations and vendors at the 36th Anniversary Celebration of National Hunting & Fishing Day on Saturday, September 22. Open to the public, this free event sponsored by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Schrader's Bridgetown Manor, located at 16090 Oakland Road in Henderson on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
"The family-oriented event offers fun and educational hands-on activities that everyone will enjoy. It is a great way to introduce young people and newcomers to outdoor sports, while teaching them about the important role that hunting and fishing play in Maryland's wildlife conservation programs," said Eric Schwaab, DNR Deputy Secretary.
A few of the fun and challenging hands-on activities participants can try include spin casting, archery, and target shooting on the grounds with skilled instructors. There will be displays of hunting and fishing equipment and demonstrations of outdoor skills. Kids will enjoy the clay pigeon and archery shooting range, laser shooting program, wood duck box making, fly tying and spin casting, as well as dog demonstrations.
Exhibitors include the Maryland Sportsman's Association, National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Grand National Waterfowl Association, Maryland Bowhunter's Society, Pheasants Forever, Maryland Trappers Association, Quality Deer Management Association, and other sportsman's and conservation groups.
