Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs(HOFNOD) is an annual spring event that promotes outdoor recreation while educating local youth about the danger of drug use. Local law enforcement and community organizations collaborate to set up different activities rooted in experiential education that relate to the intended message.  All vendor booths and activities are free and concessions are available.  

​

Favorite past activities include a fishing pond, climbing wall, gemstone mining and the HOFNOD challenge - along with regular give-aways, simulators and nature exhibits.
