The Hillsboro Recreation Commission is offering two different activities for the month of October.

A field trip for first through sixth grade students to the Rolling Hills Zoo near Salina, sponsored by Rod’s Tire and Service, will be Oct. 19, when Hillsboro students have the day off. Attendees will leave at 7:45 a.m. and should be back between 4 and 4:30 p.m.

Lunch will be provided by the zoo. Cost is $30 and must be turned in by Oct. 12.

A pumpkin-carving class will be 2 to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 24 in the West Room of City Hall. Each participant will receive a pumpkin-carving kit along with several patterns to work with and a pumpkin to carve. The fee for the program is $10.
