Good morning, Waterloo.

Photos from the Downtown Waterloo Trick-or-Treating event on Saturday show children and families collecting treats along decorated streets; the images capture a festive local tradition.

An art reception for Betty LaDuke's exhibition (Turtle Wisdom: Personal, Political, Playful) will be held Thursday at Waterloo Center for the Arts, where guests will view her work and celebrate modern creativity.

Cedar Bend Humane Society features Bear—a 3-year-old chestnut Shar-Pei mix known for his friendly nature and love for treats—who has been with the shelter for a couple months; he is up to date with his shots and a gentle companion for older children and other dogs.
