Prepare for a spooky Halloween at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s Paul H. Douglas Center on Saturday, October 20, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The center will host live owls, spiders and insects of the dunes for this fun event. Wear your Halloween costume and you may win a small prize. Then enjoy a free cup of hot chocolate or apple cider while perusing the Douglas Center.
At 1:30 pm, Kim Hoover of "Hoots to Howls" will be bringing some of her owls under rehabilitation for an up-close view. You might even hear an owl hoot during the daylight! From 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, meet the Chicago Field Museum's Jim Louderman and his collection of spiders and insects, most of which are local to the Indiana Dunes.
The Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education is located in the western portion of the national lakeshore at 100 North Lake Street, about one mile north of U.S. Highway 12 in the Miller neighborhood of Gary.
