Get BOO'd Brandon!

Enter to BOO or be BOO'd this Halloween

By Catherine Heatley, Publisher Mom, Macaroni Kid Rutland-Windsor VT October 18, 2020

Halloween in a pandemic looks very different, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be AMAZING!  Many events are still on but with modifications, but families are still asking themselves "what can we still do this year?" Unless current guidelines dramatically change, traditional trick-or-treating IS allowed. Some families may not feel comfortable this year though, and that’s OK.

Don’t let it get you down! Macaroni Kid Rutland – Windsor is committed to providing a reliable source of family fun events in the area. And what’s more, we've partnered with the Brandon Area Toy Project to get BOO'd!


Get BOO’d Brandon 2020!


Entries must be received by 10pm on Saturday, October 24th! 


We will be BOO’ing families in Brandon, Goshen, Leicester, Sudbury, and Whiting. This event is completely FREE! We will come to your house, drop off a basket of Halloween goodies, and leave instructions that YOU’VE BEEN BOO’d! It is then up to you to BOO TWO (2) more families with buckets or bags of goodies and the instructions. 

The idea is to keep the fun going until Halloween night!


HOW DO YOU SIGN UP TO BOO SOMEONE?

1. Fill out the entry form HERE

2. Fill a bag, basket, or bucket with Halloween goodies. Include 2 copies of the WE'VE BEEN BOO'd sign with instructions for how to BOO someone else.

There are no rules for how big it should be, or how much should be in there. This is an act of kindness to make someone smile. Simple items like candy, snacks, glow sticks, stickers, bubbles, etc. are great ideas!

3. We'll provide you the address of someone who signed up to be BOO'd. Message Colleen HERE to pick up your bag and instructions.

4. Leave your bag on the doorstep of that house. Ring the doorbell and run!

The recipient opens the door to discover that they’ve been BOO’d! Kids love the surprise of it all. And yes its fun to get goodies, but in my experience, BOOing others is even more fun than getting your own treats!


HOW DO YOU SIGN UP TO GET BOO’D?

1. Fill out the entry form HERE

2. Must live in Brandon, Goshen, Leicester, Sudbury, or Whiting.

3. You MUST be willing to BOO TWO (2) more families.

We cannot BOO your house if we don’t know where is it.
