Mom and Daughter Rally Local Businesses to Make Local Halloween Festival Food-Allergy Friendly
The community of Clifton Springs, New York, attends a popular Halloween festival every year called Spooktacular. Families come in costume for the games, hayrides, pumpkin decorating, haunted house and dance party. And, of course, the trick-or-treating.

Re: 2016 Allergy-Friendly Halloween Candy Guide
I am excited to see skittles, starbursts and lifesavers on here! Did anyone confirm whether or not they have dedicated top 8 free equipment also? Or was this list compiled using ingredient lists only? I know I should call them myself...just wanting to know the criteria used for the list. Thanks!
Comment
Re: 2016 Allergy-Friendly Halloween Candy Guide
Hi! Some companies on the list use dedicated equipment, and some may not - we always advise families to check if that is a concern, and we wanted to provide as much variety as possible. The number for Wrigley is 1-800-Wrigley, it seems, and they say to call for the most updated info. I hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
Hi MyBabyGirlsVoice, Thank you for trying to participate. When you click UPLOAD CLIPS, does this pop up? Sometimes it takes a few seconds to load, but when it is ready, the green plus with the text Upload File(s) will appear. You click on that link to open up your computer's file systems and select your image. Let me know if that answers your question or if you are having a different problem with the upload. Thanks!

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
Its not working for me either! The little field with Upload File shows up, but when I click on it, nothing happens

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
Hi AFiebelkorn, So the green plus sign shows up, and you click it, and nothing happens? A file box doesn't open for you to find your image on your computer? (Check to see if it is open "under" your browser by minimizing your browser.) It also might be running slow to open. Are you on a computer or a mobile device?

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
I've uploaded my son's photo twice. Both are showing in the pic preview on your page, but when you click it, they come up with errors. The reference ID changes each time, but the rest stays the same... for both pictures. I hope they can fix it before the contest ends! I even had one comment from a community leader, but when I went to view it and reply, the error came up. Kimberly Error: Error The page you requested is not available. Reference ID:...

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
FYI: When I log out... I can then view my own photos and even the comment on the one of them that has a comment. I can see that others are viewing them as well... almost 100 views. Both photos show up for me when not logged in. I am logged in with Facebook. When I logged back in, all the sudden my photos are not viewable and the error message comes up. Maybe this error has something to do with the logins done with Facebook? Hope this info. helps!

Re: Halloween Costume Parade 2012
So sorry that you're having the error messages pop up! Thanks so much for sharing the error codes and the log in information. I'll flag it to ensure that admin sees them. I think they have identified the issue(s), but they need to perform an update before it can be fixed, and that may not be until after the parade, unfortunately. Glad you were able to see the views/comment(s). Again, so sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks so much for sharing the picture of your little firefighter with...

Re: Finley's Teal Pumpkin
Welcome to KFA Did you paint the pumpkin yourself or find it in a store like that? Love the glossy color!
Comment
Re: Finley's Teal Pumpkin
Hi & thank you! We found it at Walmart it was white so we painted it with outdoor craft paint. It's kind of funny when we purchased it we didn't realize it lighted up till we got it home ready to paint ..so bonus!

Re: #keepitteal Halloween
She's got that laser-focus going on -- not a drop of paint will be spilled in painting THIS pumpkin, eh? What else do you do for Halloween?
