Purple Pumpkins Are Being Used This Year to Mark ‘Safe Houses’

Halloween will be here before we know it and while we’re not quite sure how it is going to look this year with COVID-19, people are desperate to figure out how to safely trick-or-treat.

Kids have already lost so much this year, everyone wants to make sure that Halloween isn’t entirely ruined either.

While the CDC may have listed trick-or-treating as a “high-risk” Halloween activity, they have not said that children cannot go and collect candy.

So, people are using color-coded pumpkins again to help! Remember teal pumpkins on your doorstep meant your house is food allergy-friendly? Well this year it’s all about purple pumpkins. Purple pumpkins are being used this year to mark “safe houses.”

By placing a purple pumpkin outside your home this Halloween, you will be telling the neighborhood that you are a safe location when it comes to trick-or-treating. This means that the house has been practicing all the health guidelines when it comes to COVID-19 and do not have a positive individual in their home.

Will you trick-or-treat this year? Sound off on social @OnAirWithRyan
