Rhode Island Man Uses Incredible Halloween Display To Raise Money For A Good Cause
A guy in Rhode Island named Tim Perry is using his INSANE annual Halloween display to raise money for the American Cancer Society again this year.
He calls it “House of 1,000 Pumpkins.” He takes fake “craft” pumpkins and carves celebrities’ faces into them. And yes, he really does have that many.
He’s been doing it for over a decade, and adds more pumpkins each year. But it’s only the third year it’s been a fundraiser.
A few years ago, his wife got diagnosed with cancer. So that’s when he decided to start raising money for cancer research. But the best news is he says she’s doing okay now, and “hopefully the cancer is gone.”
If you can’t make it to Cranston, Rhode Island to see it in person, you can check out his “House of 1,000 Pumpkins” Facebook page. He’s also doing an online fundraiser through Facebook this year, so anyone can donate.
9 Worst Trick or Treat Handouts for Halloween
Halloween is the time of year when spookiness takes center stage, and creative costumes rule the streets. It’s also the day of the beloved tradition, trick-or-treating. Whether you’re a kid dreaming of a candy jackpot or an adult admiring the neighborhood’s costume creativity while handing out treats, it’s a highlight of the year.
However, you’ll always find that one neighbor who likes to shake things up by handing out something other than candy. It’s not always a bad thing, though. Some people do it for a good reason, like considering kids with dietary restrictions. But if you’re considering going outside the box, you should avoid certain trick-or-treat handouts.
Let’s talk about the Halloween horrors, the stuff no one wants in their trick-or-treat bag. First on the list are those infamous toothbrushes or dental floss packs. Halloween is the one night a year when kids can indulge in a sugar frenzy, and suddenly, you’re handed a dental hygiene product. It’s like being told to eat your veggies at a birthday party. Then there are the homemade treats. While some homemade goodies can be delicious, receiving unlabeled, homemade treats can make even the bravest trick-or-treater think twice; also, most parent’s won’t feel comfortable with that and may dispose of them. All of your hard work will go to waste! Safety is paramount on Halloween, and unwrapped or unlabeled edibles can raise concerns.
Another item to avoid is pennies. They’re not even worth the trip to the store, and they make you question if you’ve accidentally stumbled into a time machine back to the 1950s. If you’re going to give out money on Halloween, make it worthwhile if you can swing it. While Halloween is all about surprises, pennies are definitely not the kind of surprises anyone hopes for.
Take a look at some of the worst trick-or-treat handouts for Halloween.
