2014 Annual Report • Nebraska Game and Parks Commission 19
Workshops were held on game calling, outdoor photography,
cooking, Nebraska's native species, wildlife viewing, deer hunting,
fish cleaning, the importance of pollinators, upland game hunting
and more. A mock campsite allowed visitors to learn first-hand
everything they needed to know to plan a weekend camping trip.
Dutch oven cooking demonstrations gave visitors the chance to
try homemade cobbler and other treats and to learn about this
form of outdoor cooking. Many children took advantage of the
outdoor playground, which will be expanded in coming years.
The Commission's presence at the state fair provided education
and fun for all ages and fostered expansive, positive publicity –
both from the public and from news outlets statewide.
