MIDDLE CREEK EVENT TO MARK NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING DAY
Have you ever wanted to try outdoor recreational activities but never had the opportunity? Do you have an interest in the outdoors, wildlife, and conservation? If so, plan to visit the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23, to help celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day.
"National Hunting and Fishing Day is designed to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of hunters and anglers in the conservation of Pennsylvania's diverse wildlife resources," said Jim Binder, Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area supervisor. "It also is an opportunity for people with no previous experience to learn about the values and enjoyment of outdoor pursuits."
