Popsicles are dirt cheap. Having planned these type of events it’s also less clean up. Would you prefer to pick up a single tube from an otter pop or a popsicle stick or a straw, plus straw wrapper and juice box and then the various candy wrappers and then candy bags? CB wants a Halloween event and not a park unveil which is pretty standard to have just popsicles. It’s a park so you can guarantee some of the kids will wander and drop their trash where it lands. The person who posted is thinking of a zoo or another venue who has trash pickup as part of the hourly routine because of high volume visitors, not a park.
