Halloween is going to look very different this year due to COVID-19. Some states are cancelling Halloween all together which has caused a lot of concern for Montgomery County residents. 

Macaroni Kid BCCP is committed to providing a reliable resource for family fun events in the area by joining forces with some amazing Sponsors to bring the family fun this Halloween!  


Introducing Boo it Forward! 


We will be BOO'ing 100 families living in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac from October 13-18. This is entirely FREE! We will come to your house, drop off a basket of Halloween goodies and leave instructions that YOU'VE BEEN BOO'ED and how to keep the fun going! It is then up to you to BOO TWO (2) more Families with buckets of goodies and the instructions. We will also have an option available for families with food allergies to receive a non-food treat bucket. 

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


HOW DO YOU BOO SOMEONE?

1. Fill a Halloween bucket full of goodies (candy, glow sticks, stickers, decals, straws, bubbles, etc.)

2. Make 2 Copies of the YOU'VE BEEN BOO'ED sign and 2 Copies of the WE'VE BEEN BOO'ED sign and place them in the baskets 

3. Leave your basket on a doorstep of a friend, family member, neighbor, etc.. Ring the doorbell and run!

The recipient opens the door to see they have been BOO'd! Kids love being surprised by the bucket of goodies and the instructions explaining to them that they need to make a bucket and BOO 2 more people! In my experience, BOO'ing others is more fun than the candy.
