Do you ever wonder why we carve pumpkins at Halloween? Why are Halloween colors black and orange? Why do we think about bats more during this time of year? Explore your most spirited questions about Halloween traditions at Community House No. 2 this spooky season! After the program, we’ll break open some pumpkins and look at the science behind this amazing fruit. (Yes, it is a fruit!)
