What to Wear

The Pumpkin Patch is an outdoor event at Waterfront Park. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed shoes. It is recommended to have a hat, sunglasses, and wear sunscreen as there is little sun protection. If volunteers choose, they may wear costumes as long as they are not scary to young children and may not be a clown. No masks are allowed, and face decoration is limited to makeup with prosthetics.
