SCOUTING AROUND

SCOUTS NEED EMPTY TOILET PAPER/PAPER TOWEL ROLLS

The Cub Scouts in the Waynedale area are in need of the cardboard rolls that come in toilet paper and paper towels. Save them and turn them in to THE WAYNEDALE NEWS office at 2700 Lower Huntington Road or at Calvary United Methodist Church at 6301 Winchester Road. The Scouts are using them for a summer project at their day camp. They are also in need of clean, empty, plastic 2-Liter pop bottles – these will be used in making water rockets.

Thank you.

FREE FISHING WEEKEND IS JUNE 5-6

Kids and adults can celebrate Free Fishing Weekend, June 5-6, at recreation areas located across Indiana that are planning fun fishing derbies, casting clinics, fish-cleaning demonstrations and cooking classes.

Hoosier adults do not need a license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish Indiana waters during Free Fishing Weekend. Children ages 17 and younger do not need a fishing license at any time. Although Indiana residents need no fishing license to fish public waters on Free Fishing Weekend, all other fishing regulations are still in effect.
