Trick or Treat for the Animals at Fontana Park

A Northeast Iowa wildlife display is once again featuring a "Trick or Treat for the Animals" program.

Participants at Fontana Park near Hazleton, may help carve out creative pumpkins, then fill them with tasty treats for the resident raccoons, fox, bison, ducks, bear, crow, turkey and rabbits.

Park workers will then put the filled pumpkins in the animal enclosures, for a treat that will be a trick to get into for the creatures.

Anyone interested in taking part, should meet at the Fontana Nature Center, south of Hazleton, on Saturday, October 31st, from 9am to 10:30am.

There is no fee, but participants are asked to pre-register.
Call 319-636-2617, or email fontanapark@iowatelecom.net.

Groups of 6 people or larger are asked to bring 1 pumpkin per every 2 to 3 people.

The center is also accepting treats for the animals, including eggs, honey, grapes, berries, acorns (without the caps), unsalted peanuts and fish filets.
