Animals play a significant role in human religion, science, history, art, folklore, mythology, medicine, sports,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of our local appearances include many events at the Memorial Coliseum (Outdoor Sports Show, WMEE Baby Fair, Home &amp; Garden Show, Grabill country fair, Johnny Appleseed&#8230;to name a few). We also appear locally at the Allen County Fairgrounds, libraries birthday parties and schools around the Tri-State area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of our animals have at one time or another been someone&#8217;s pet and all of our interactions include responsible pet ownership as well as Indiana Conservation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year Indiana WILD and The Firehouse Reception Hall &amp; Event Center will be hosting their 1st ever Trunk or Treat&nbsp; at the event center located at 3322 Honway Ct.Fort Wayne, IN 46806 to celebrate Indiana WILD\u2019s 10th anniversary as well as celebrating the new ownership of The Firehouse Reception Hall &amp; Event Center by Tina &amp; Michael Lovett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halloween is also a busy season for us, stated Beth Wood Director of Indiana Wild. \u201cPeople associate lots of Creepy &amp; Amazing Critters around Halloween&#8230;it is a perfect time to introduce guests to Ambassadors such as Sir Bubo or Eurasian Eagle Owl, cockroaches Beetoven &amp; Mozart and many others.\u201d Which is why hosting a Trunk or Treat including an Indiana WILD Live Animal Show seemed appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event includes Trunks to Trick or Treat 12:15pm , costume contest Special visit with Jared the Comfort Dog, Special guests appearances, Touch a Truck, Live animal show 1pm and much more&#8230;Event is 12 noon-2:30pm.
