IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — A local group made pumpkin carving more accessible for the blind and visually impaired. The United Church of Christ on Titus Ave hosted a special pumpkin carving session Friday as part of Blind Equality Achievement Month.
Pastor Paul Grenier explained how participants can carve safely.
“How do you know where the blade is? So, you do have your finger close but you don’t have it near the sharp part, you know where it is and that allows you to be able to carve properly,” said Grenier.
Grenier emphasized that while the skills may differ from those of sighted individuals, everyone can learn how to carve pumpkins.
“The skills that you have to learn, they maybe a little bit different than the skills a sighted person learns, but everybody can do it,” said Grenier.
The event was hosted by the Rochester chapter of the New York Federation of the Blind.
