Beggars' Night this year will take place on Wednesday, October 31, between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Residents planning to participate should turn their porch lights on – and, of course, be prepared with plenty of treats.

Looking for a way to make Beggars' Night safe and fun for all our kids – including those with food allergies? Consider participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project.

Begun in 2014 by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), the Teal Pumpkin Project "provides an alternative [trick-or-treat experience] for kids with food allergies, as well as other children for whom candy is not an option, and keeps Halloween a fun, positive experience."1

Taking part in the Teal Pumpkin Project is easy: Just paint a pumpkin teal, put it on your front porch, and have a selection of non-food treats on hand.2 Participants who also plan to give away candy should remember to keep food and non-food items in separate bowls, to prevent cross-contamination.3

To learn more about how you can make this year's Halloween accessible to all our kids, please visit https://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project.

Thank you for making The Glen a great place to live!
