Make sure watch for Teal Pumpkins!

     Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) started the Teal Pumpkin Project. The Teal Pumpkin Project was inspired by a local activity run by the Food Allergy Community in East Tennessee. It is for trick-or-treaters who have food allergies, homes put a teal pumpkin in front of their house to indicate that they are distributing non-food items. When you put out a teal pumpkin, you can add your house to the Teal Pumpkin Project map. It is a great way to include all trick-or-treaters, especially
those who could not participate because of allergies and other conditions.

PSA:  If you see any younger trick-or-treaters on their own, make sure to walk them across the street.  A reminder to keep the porch light on if you are handing treats out!  Keep in mind to always test the candy, for the kid's safety. ;)
