Pumpkin Preparations for Halloween


With Halloween just around the corner, the residents are already getting the decorations underway for the Aloha Cafe. This week residents, volunteers and staff worked on decorating pumpkins that will be displayed as centerpieces on each table in the Aloha Cafe. Each pumpkin was decorated by a resident, and you can really see their personalities coming through in the different designs. There were some two-faced pumpkins, ones with flowers, others with feathers, one with a straw cowboy hat, and even one that looked like an owl! This was such a  great alternative to the typical jack-o-lanterns that most people carve for Halloween, that usually get moldy and/or collapse within a week. These pumpkins are so much more colorful and fun, and made less mess!
