Archery, laser shooting, fish printing and identification, and nest box building are among the activities featured in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) tent at Farmfest Aug. 2-4, near Morton, Minn.

The DNR also invites visitors to try out an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) simulator that teaches safety on the trail. An 18-foot tall camping tipi will be available for campers to rent at Upper Sioux Agency State Park.

“Kids and adults alike will not want to miss the hands-on activities and wide variety of information available in the DNR tent during the Farmfest event,” said Scott Roemhildt, DNR information officer in New Ulm.

Adults will find resources and experts available on many outdoor programs and issues, including the danger that aquatic invasive species present to our lakes, rivers and streams.  DNR permits and licenses will be available for purchase in the tent all three days.

The DNR tent will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Aug. 2-3, and 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Aug. 4. More information can be found by visiting http://farmshows.com/ffst/index.html.
