“Year after year, NHF Day’s successful events showcase the celebration’s effectiveness in promoting the importance of a healthy environment in outdoor sports throughout the nation,” said Denise Wagner of Wonders of Wildlife museum in Springfield, Mo. — the official home of NHF Day.  “Yamaha’s donation for the ATV giveaway is a prominent feature in NHF Day’s celebration.  NHF Day is very grateful that Yamaha’s similar interest in conservation has provided support for this important cause in the hunting and fishing communities.”
