It’s just a few weeks before Halloween and most of us are still trying to figure out how we’re going to celebrate this year.
One thing that’s up in the air for a lot of folks is trick-or-treating. While the CDC lists it as a “high-risk” Halloween activity, they haven’t canceled it. And now some folks are trying to find a way to make the holiday a little safer and they’re using purple pumpkins to do it.
A group of parents came up with the idea to use them to mark “safe houses” - as in the residents there have all been following the health guidelines when it comes to COVID-19 and no one who lives there has tested positive.
Putting a purple pumpkin on your porch, in your yard or in your window shows you’re a safe location for trick-or-treating. It may not be the perfect solution, but it could help ease the fears of protective parents so their kids can still enjoy the holiday tradition.
