Children will have an opportunity to fish for bluegill and learn how to cast a line at Conservation Village with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources each day of the Du Quoin State Fair. Illinois Conservation Police and wildlife biologists will be on hand to discuss conservation regulations and wildlife management.
