This unique event is for children with special needs and offers them the opportunity to trick-or-treat for allergen free food items ("treats") in an easy and low key environment. The children and their parents can stop at neighboring homes and enjoying the fun festivities, including a "not" so scary haunted house.
Space for the event is limited and last year the program reached capacity. Co-chairs for the event include Pete Brown, Doreen Colletti and David Holt. The group is looking for companies that are willing to donate allergen free treats or trinkets to be given away during the event. Not to mention donations to help underwrite the night.
