Kids check out the literature at the NORML potluck picnic / fishiree in Green Lake, WI
Playground Park on the Dartford Mill Pond in Green Lake Wisconsin came alive this weekend as Northern Wisconsin NORML, statewide activists and supporters for the reform of marijuana, cannabis and hemp laws gathered to celebrate free fishing weekend.

The celebration included a Potluck picnic and was sponsored by members of Northern Wisconsin NORML and supporting cast. Picnic supplies were donated by Crossroads Market and Fuel. Hemp food products were found at and donated by a chain store supermarket. A variety of literature was also available regarding the use of hemp as an agricultural and industrial natural resource.
Free Fishing Weekend Literature
The Wisconsin Department of National resources allows residents to "Fish for Free" the first weekend in June, where no license is required to angle (http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/freefishingweekend.html). The DNR provided lead-free lures, stickers, literature, and a variety of fishing related giveaways as part of the state wide fishing day. Local fishing clubs and merchants also donated time and resources to bring this day together.

A special treat was also provided with music by Alex Toast and vendor booths, including Suzi's Teas from Chicago (http://www.teavision.com/). Along with great food and even better fellowship, local anglers joined the picnic and provided tips for the day. Also by providing a variety of bait, tackle, extra poles and guidance, Northern Wisconsin NORML closed out the event by helping both the young and old achieve the goal of catching a winner. Prizes donated by local merchants were given out to all who caught a fish.

Rich, it was great to meet you and Jane! Jay, thanks so much for making this weekend possible in the first place. And if there are any tea drinkers reading this, definitely check out Teavision.com. I bought 2 ounces of Green Mitake tea, which I am currently drinking from my new ForLife mug (also from Suzi's Teas) and I am loving it.
Was the chain store making donations Wal-Mart. That would be awesome. Glad everyone had fun... what a great event!
No it was grocery store chain, they just did not want to be named, yet.
