The Colorado Parks and Wildlife department is hosting a unique event that will allow kids and families to experience the great outdoors in a fun and interactive way. The Cast, Blast, and Glass event is set to take place on April 26 at Riverbend Park in Palisade, Colorado.
Hands-on Activities
- Fishing
- Shooting
- Wildlife Viewing
Kids and families will have the chance to try out new hobbies and activities, including fishing, shooting, and wildlife viewing. This event is designed to be an introduction to the outdoors, where kids can come out, try something new, and potentially fall in love with it. The goal is to provide an opportunity for kids to explore the outdoors as they grow up. The event is free for everyone, and no prior experience or equipment is required to attend. Staff at the event will be on hand to help those new to using the outdoor equipment. This is especially important, as trying new things can be intimidating, especially when there are many different pieces of equipment involved.

Quote from Christina French
“It’s very hard for kids to get outdoors these days. Parents can be busy, so we’re hoping that it being on a Saturday, it’ll give both parents and their kids the opportunity to get out and really connect over something that maybe both of them fall in love with and want to do more.”
