Halloween Hike " The Sound of Music" by Jasper Co. Conservation
Newton, IAOctober 18, 2024
6:00 pm · 8:00pm
This is a fun and educational, not scary, event featuring musical skits performed by Newton Community Theatre (NCT) actors. Hikers will meet friendly characters along the trail, learn about nature and the environment, and listen to some familiar and fun songs!
This year we are very excited to have performers from “The Sound of Music” production that was held at NCT last June. Listen as the hills come alive with the sounds from nature at six different stops along the trail!
Hour-long hikes will begin at 6:00 PM and will depart every 15 minutes. Each time slot can accommodate around 25 hikers. The last hike will begin at 8:00 PM. Families with young children are encouraged to come earlier in the evening.
The hikes will end with the very popular blacklight animal tracking. The Emerson Hough Chapter of the Izaak Walton League will serve hotdogs and s’mores at the campfire. Popcorn and drinks will also be available.

Free Movie Lover Come Back
Newton, IAOctober 19, 2024
10:00 am
Come FALL in love with this classic romantic comedy starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day with a special free showing of "Lover Come Back." The movie is free to all with a sponsorship from United Way of Jasper County.
Free community movies is just one way UWJC works to offer opportunities for individuals and families to have a better quality of life. It is also an opportunity to share the work of UWJC with a wider audience. We appreciate Capitol II Theatre and their assistance in providing the space to host these great events.
ABOUT THE MOVIE: Jerry (Rock Hudson) is a slick adman who uses women and booze to woo his clients. One day, his tactics draw the ire of Carol (Doris Day), an executive at a rival agency, who reports him to the Ad Council. Jerry deflects Carol's accusations using the testimony of a nightclub performer (Edie Adams), whom he pays off with a starring spot in a fake ad campaign. But when Jerry's clueless boss (Tony Randall) broadcasts one of the ads on TV, he's forced to create a new product.
ABOUT UNITED WAY OF JASPER COUNTY: The United Way of Jasper County is a nonprofit organization that brings together individuals and resources to advance the common good in Jasper County, Iowa. Our vision is to foster strong, resilient, and equitable communities where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and live their best life.
