Teal Pumpkin Table

This year at our Howler at Bauler event, we are excited bring back our Teal Pumpkin table, supported by Park West Cooperative Nursery School.

WHAT IS A TEAL PUMPKIN? The Teal Pumpkin Project is a simple way to make trick-or-treating safer and more inclusive for children living with food allergies, and many others impacted by intolerances and other conditions. We will be placing a teal pumpkin on a special table at Howler at Bauler to signal that we will be providing allergy-free snacks and candy, as well as non-food treats that are safe for all trick or treaters.
