SUMMARY:Get hooked on fishing with MDC Free Fishing Days June 6 and 7
DESCRIPTION:Want some free fun that gets family and friends outside in nature? Get hooked on fishing with the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Free Fishing Days June 6 and 7. During Free Fishing Days\, anyone may fish in the Show-Me State without having to buy a fishing permit\, trout permit\, or trout park daily tag. \nFree Fishing Days is an annual MDC event that takes place statewide during the Saturday and Sunday following the first Monday in June. \nAside from not needing permits\, other fishing regulations remain in effect\, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler may keep. Special permits may still be required at some county\, city\, or private fishing areas. Trespass laws remain in effect on private property. \nConservation makes Missouri a great place to fish\, and Free Fishing Days encourages people to sample Missouri’s abundant fishing opportunities. Missouri has more than a million acres of surface water\, and most of it provides great fishing. More than 200 different fish species are found in Missouri\, with more than 20 of them being game fish for the state’s more than 1.1 million anglers. \nFor information on Missouri fishing regulations\, fish identification\, and more\, get a copy of MDC’s 2026 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations\, available where permits are sold\, or online at mdc.mo.gov/about-us/about-regulations/summary-missouri-fishing-regulations. \nWant to learn to fish? MDC’s Discover Nature – Fishing Program provides a series of free lessons throughout the state. All fishing gear is provided. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/fishing/discover-nature-fishing. \nNeed fishing gear? MDC works with numerous libraries and other locations around the state to loan fishing gear for free.

Find MDC Rod and Reel Loaner Program locations at mdc.mo.gov/fishing/get-started-fishing/rod-reel-loaner-locations. \nMDC’s free MO Fishing app can help anglers find the best places to fish in Missouri\, access regulation information\, identify fish by species\, and more. Anglers can also buy\, store\, and show fishing permits right on their mobile devices. MO Fishing is available for download through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices.

Pickleball is a great cardiovascular workout and also helps to improve lung function and can strengthen the heart. Also\, because pickleball is played on a smaller court than a regulation tennis court\, it can be easier on players’ joints since it doesn’t require covering as much ground.

SUMMARY:Lakota culture and care of Mother Earth
DESCRIPTION:The Brownville Fine Arts Association will present the first program of the 2026 season Speakers Series this Saturday\, June 20\, at the Schoolhouse Art Gallery in Brownville\, Nebraska. The program will begin at 10:00 a.m. \nMary M. Hines is the author of “Who Cries for Mother Earth.” She is a writer and poet who has won numerous awards including an Independent Publisher Book Award in Visionary Fiction\, a Next Generation Indie Book Award\, and a National Telly Award. Hines grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota\, and her ancestry and writing are based on the Lakota ways as were gratefully taught to her by a Medicine Man from the Sicangu Lakota tribe. Her purpose in writing and speaking is to help conservation efforts to save Mother Earth. \n“This presentation discusses the relationship between Lakota culture and stewardship of the land\, according to Humanities Nebraska. “Most Native Americans have a deep connection to the natural world. The Lakota spiritual principle of “Mitakuye Oyasin” or “All my Relations” means we are all connected to each other\, to all species of animals and plants\, and all life – including Mother Earth and Father Sky. The program explores why more understanding of Lakota culture and spiritual beliefs might help us all open ourselves to new thinking about how to become better stewards of our beautiful planet Earth.” \nThe program is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and Brownville Fine Arts Association. The Schoolhouse Art Gallery is located at 427 Main Street in Brownville.
