Annual Watershed Fest & Fishing Derby sponsors FREE outdoor fun

                                   Montana Outdoor Science School (MOSS) and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service will host the 21st Annual Watershed Festival & Fishing Derby on Saturday, June 22nd from 9am–3pm at the Bozeman Fish Technology Center, located at 4050 Bridger Canyon Road.
This FREE day of educational fun will feature a wide variety of local organizations providing exhibits and activities, a fishing derby led by the Fish Technology staff, music, food, face painting, and a rubber duck race with plenty of great prizes. (Rubber ducks are $5 each or $20 for a Quack Pack of 5.) Fun for the whole family!
Note: parking is limited at and around the Fish Technology Center, so please utilize the free shuttle running to and from the Fairgrounds throughout the day.
Following last year’s milestone event two decades in the making, the Watershed Festival is dedicated to promoting awareness and responsible stewardship of the diverse natural resources found within Montana’s watersheds. The event supports organizations that share in this mission far and wide, foster a greater understanding and appreciation of local environment systems, and interest children in taking up fishing as a lifelong hobby by providing casting lessons, fly tying demonstrations, and the ability to catch and keep two rainbow trout.
Montana Outdoor Science School inspires curiosity, understanding, and awareness of nature through quality educational experiences. MOSS engages people of all ages through hands-on, experiential learning. It uses the outdoors as its classroom! Their summer camps allow kids an in-depth opportunity to learn about nature, particularly our own unique backyard. In-school programs, taught to current curriculum standards, help children develop their scientific inquiry and learning skills.
