Frankfort, KY - A setback in health or the loss of a limb doesn't mean giving up an active outdoor lifestyle. Sunday, April 10 at 2:00 p.m., the Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort is offering a workshop on overcoming physical barriers to hunting and fishing. The program is lead by representatives from Shriners and Kosair Hospitals and Tim Farmer, host of KET’s Kentucky Afield.

Tim lost use of his right arm in an accident in 1984. Through adaptive devices, he has continued to cast and shoot without missing a beat. Anyone affected personally or with a loved-one wanting to regain their independence in the woods and on the water is welcome to attend. The events are free and open to the public without registration.
