(Released March 28, 2011)


Outdoor enthusiasts can learn about fishing, hunting, hiking trails, water safety and much more by visiting the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) booths at the 79th Annual Northwest Sportshow, which runs March 30-April 3 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

 DNR specialists will be available to answer questions at the main DNR booth located in Lobby D. The DNR License Center will be selling state parks stickers, and fishing and hunting licenses.

Attendees can also visit the DNR’s invasive species information booth in Lobby C to pick up educational materials and talk with invasive species staff and conservation officers specializing in invasive species issues.

The DNR Enforcement Division will offer an interactive LaserShot shooting range for youth and adults. This family favorite gives participants a chance to test their skills at one of four shooting simulation stations.

Daily admission for the Northwest Sportshow is $10 for adults 16 and older. Youth 15 and younger are admitted for free. On March 31, seniors 62 and older will receive a discounted admission of $5 for the day.
