The Hoosier Outdoor Experience is Indiana’s largest, hands-on outdoor recreation event. Featuring over 50 activities and 120 grassroots partners, this free weekend at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis will provide the opportunity to learn the basics of outdoor recreation available across Indiana’s extraordinary public lands.
Basically this is an event to show the general public all of the activities available to them at Indiana's public land. Geared more towards city folk or new residents, but is a fun time for the whole family. I was there last year with Redbird Foundation, and I will be there again this year. They have hands-on activities at almost every display including shooting clay pigeons, bow and arrow targets, canoeing, hiking, fishing, etc. Fat Boys Jeepers out of Indy will be giving Jeep rides. Last year the demand for Jeep rides was so great RF stepped in with our rigs to take people around the "trail".
I know it would be a long trip for most of you, but if anyone finds themselves in Indianapolis the weekend of Sept 18-19, please stop in and say hey!
