The 2010 Census was a sponsor to the first annual Hoosier Outdoor Experience this year at Fort Harrison Park on September 26-27. They purchased t-shirts for our volunteers to wear. This event brought in approximately 13,000 people from all over the state over the weekend.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is taking a greater role in promoting the 2010 Census and we encourage our various constituent groups to fully participate.
