[font "Arial"][size 2]NEWTOWN, Conn. - National Hunting & Fishing Day (NHF) marks its 33rd year as a nationwide celebration on Saturday, September 25, 2004. NHF day commemorates the conservation and economic contributions of hunters, anglers, target shooters and other sportsmen. It also provides a great opportunity for outdoors enthusiasts to STEP OUTSIDE and participate in various outdoor activities.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2]“There are 48 million men and women who would accept an invitation to try target shooting and other outdoor activities. NHF Day is the perfect opportunity to extend that invitation to a friend or family member,” explained Cynthia Dalena, national coordinator of STEP OUTSIDE.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2]According to the National Sporting Goods Association sports participation, over 18.5 million men, women and children actively hunt and 51.2 million actively fish in the United States. These hunters and anglers represent big business in terms of dollars and cents. The economic importance of hunting in America generates $67 billion, while anglers generate $116 billion, both in 2003. [/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2]To help celebrate NHF Day, many organizations around the country arrange special opportunities for non-outdoorsmen and women, of all ages and levels of experience. Check your area for hands-on events featuring archery, firearms and muzzleloader shooting, fishing, canoeing, cooking or duck calling. There is no better time to STEP OUTSIDE with friends and family and introduce somebody new to some of America’s favorite pastimes.[/size][/font]
