ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – Gov. Tim Walz wants to encourage Minnesotans to get outside and enjoy the state’s outdoor opportunities by proclaiming June as Great Outdoors Month.

One upcoming event is Take a Kid Fishing Weekend, which starts Friday and goes through Sunday. Minnesotans 16 or older who take a child 15 or younger fishing do not need a fishing license during the event.
