WHAT
The fair celebrates Arizona’s great outdoors and emphasizes the importance of conserving the state’s diverse wildlife species. AZGFD staff members will be on hand to share and discuss the department’s various programs, as well as provide some hands-on activities for fair attendees.
The fair will feature live wildlife on display, booths from several local and state organizations, an archery range, and prizes for the kids, such as fishing rods and lures. A visit from Smokey Bear also is planned.
Green Valley Lake will be stocked with rainbow trout in advance of the fair. A fishing license is not required for fair attendees, and bait and loaner fishing rods will be provided. The Mogollon Sporting Association also will be offering a variety of fishing incentives.
Whether it’s catching a rainbow trout, taking aim with a bow and arrow, or getting up close and personal with live critters, the family-friendly Payson Wildlife Fair will be offering a variety of outdoor fun Saturday, May 4, at Green Valley Park.
