• With his expressive face and great showmanship, Andy Head presents a knockout show with juggling, comedy and audience participation that has you laughing and smiling until your face hurts! It’s the perfect blend of silliness and sophistication–verbal and visual–polish and improvisation. Andy annually takes his wonderful and wacky act to more than 100 family-friendly events throughout the Chicago area.

• “Trunk or Treat” (5-8 pm at Rice Pool & Water Park parking lot) – Imagine the parking lot full of exciting vehicles like a police car, ambulance, fire truck, snow plow, backhoe and dump truck decorated in a variety of Halloween themes…complete with treats! Children can parade from vehicle to vehicle and have the opportunity to see, touch, explore, honk the horn or sound the siren as they “Trunk or Treat.”

• “It’s Bat-Tastic” (5-8:30 pm at the Community Center) – Visit with Lincoln Marsh staff and explore the world of our only flying mammal…the bat! Test your bat I.Q., listen to a bat-chat, look closely at a bat skull and skeleton, and make your very own bat mask or craft to take home. You’ll have a bat-tastic time!
