Halloween Non-Food Event - safe and fun!

Haven't heard about our local Halloween non-food Event? Here it is in a nutshell: imagine all of the fun of Halloween - dressing up, playing games, decorating pumpkins, and trick-or-treating... all with non-food prizes and goodies instead of the standard candy! For the many kids who live with restricted diets, this is a chance to enjoy Halloween without the stressful aftermath of 'no, you can't eat that.' I am proud to say that our nursing students put on another fun -filled festival this past Friday. Thank you to everyone who came - I hope you enjoyed it!

I am including a link to the news coverage of the event - it is brief, but a good start to spreading the word that many children live with restricted diets for a variety of medical conditions, including Eos.
