Calling all canines and their owners! Come join
us for a doggie "Howl-O-Ween" dress-up at Field of Greens

Sunday, Oct. 23, with activities lasting approximately one hour. All
children and dogs should come dressed in their Halloween costumes
for a doggie parade to "spooktacular" music. Every dog is a winner
and receives a doggie bag filled with healthy homemade dog cookies
and prizes.

Join us to decorate six Halloween-themed cookies. The park
district will supply the cookies and frostings. A variety of
toppings will also be available to choose from. Make them scary or
make them cute. Participants will want to wear an old shirt because
we'll be working with food coloring that may stain. When we're done
decorating, we'll enjoy some Halloween treats ourselves with a glass
of milk and a non-scary story or two. This will be on Saturday, Oct.
29, at 9 a.m. Cost is $7 in district, $9.50 out of district. You'll
find us in the craft room.
