ACTIVITIES:

**Coulee Region Humane Society to Hold Sixth Annual Haunted Kennels

For the sixth consecutive year the dog adoption kennels will once again be transformed into a spooky kennel version of a typical haunted house. Ghosts, goblins, fog and even a creepy cemetery all add to the ambience of this unique Coulee Region Humane Society annual event.

The cat adoption room will also be decorated for visitors. However, the cats are not as fond of goblins and ghosts, so they will be surrounded by fall themes including pumpkins, leaves, and other fun décor.

Lots of free candy for all who dare to come!

Place: Coulee Region Humane Society, 911 Critter Court, Onalaska, WI
