Hunter education class set for Putnam County Fairgrounds

Indiana Conservation Officers, Greencastle Police Department, and the Quail Forever group are jointly sponsoring an upcoming hunter education class in Putnam County.

This class provides an opportunity to obtain a hunter education certification before the upcoming hunting season. Several veteran instructors will be attending this class and are eager to teach attendees about the safety of the outdoors.

The class will be conducted in the Community Building at the Putnam County Fairgrounds.

The three class dates are as follows (note: participants must attend all three classes to be eligible for a certificate):

-- Tuesday, Sept. 3, from 6-9 p.m.

-- Thursday, Sept. 5, from 6-9 p.m.

-- Saturday, Sept. 7, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

Participants need to pre-register for the class by going to the website www.IndianaHunterEducation.com or checking out the website for the dates of other classes in this area.

Walk-ins are also welcome.

Anyone with specific questions in regard to the class may contact Greencastle Police Tom Sutherlin at 848-1561.
