The City of Lawrence is asking for more volunteers to help with its annual Halloween trick-or-treat event at Prairie Park Nature Center.

The event, with the theme Enchanted Forest, will be held at the nature center, 2730 Harper St., from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25.

The city needs volunteers to take admission, serve refreshments, paint faces and be in costume along the nature trail.

To volunteer, contact Andrea Woody, a naturalist at Prairie Park Nature Center, at (785) 832-7980, or register online at lawrenceks.org/lprd/ppnc/halloweenvolunteer.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to volunteer on their own. Those under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
