Pack up your pooch for an event that's sure to be howling fun: Mundelein Park District's (https://mundeleinparks.org/) Doggy Trick-or-Treat on Saturday, October 12, noon to 2 pm at Community Park (1401 N. Midlothian Road, Mundelein).

Families and all friendly, leashed dogs are welcome at this FREE event that includes a costume contest complete with prizes for a variety of categories such as cutest, scariest, funniest, etc.! Bobbing for weenies, an agility course, hide and go treat, and digging in the boneyard are a just a few of the activities that are sure to get a pups' tail wagging! There will even be a chance to pose for the puparazzi at a photo booth, a pumpkin eating contest and a doggy dash race as well. Many pet related businesses will be on hand for doggy trick or treating and Placing Paws (https://placingpawsrescue.org/ ) adoption agency will be on hand with pets to adopt for a real Halloween treat!
