Please email or call with any questions. Upper Peninsula Field Deputy Update – Stacy Haughey DNR Pocket Park – UP State Fair in Escanaba August 16 through August 22, 2021 The DNR Pocket Park is finally able to be open! This includes being open during the UP State fair, and oh my goodness, we have such a short time to plan! In less than a month (yikes!), the DNR Pocket Park will open to parents and children, both wanting to learn how to catch a fish or hit the bullseye with a bow or pellet gun. And we have something SUPER SPECIAL this year for the fair…..a Smokey Bear hot air balloon (more on that soon!). 2019 was THE most successful year yet, and all because of the overwhelming help from volunteers. Together, you all certainly make the park one of the top destinations to visit during the UP State Fair each year. We know this year may take on a little different meaning for some of you, and we very much understand. If, by chance, you are ready to get back into the swing of things, we surely hope we can count on you to volunteer this year! Please help us NOW by considering a few things below. 1. Look at your calendars and please consider volunteering that week (August 16-22). Your family member(s), friends, and coworkers (16 years and older) are also more than welcome to volunteer.
