Each year, the average American eats 25 pounds of candy, much of which is consumed during Halloween. Pumpkin Patch gives children and their families a fun, active environment with games and crafts, as well as a respite from sugary candy with delicious, healthier refreshments. It’s unlike any other Halloween party! The goal is that Pumpkin Patch will help kids and parents alike take steps towards thinking about healthy (and fun)
