As you and your ghosts or goblins make your trick or treating rounds this year, keep your eyes peeled for houses with a teal colored pumpkin out front. These families are offering non-food treats as part of the Teal Pumpkin Project.  Started in 2014 by Food Allergy Research and Education, the Teal Pumpkin Project is a nationwide movement to include children with food allergies in the treat grabbing fun.
