Don’t forget to head over to the Central Park Nature Center to check out our fall displays and make your own animal mask as you warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy a cookie snack courtesy of the Friends of Jones County Conservation and Nature Center.  Thanks to Hansen Family Farm near Onslow, Prairie Hill 4-H Club families and members, and all the families donating and carving pumpkins to light the night for this fun fall event.  Visit  https://www.jonescountyiowa.gov/conservation/  for more information and a map of activity stations.
