Help us spread some local Halloween fun and promote your business or organization!
Macaroni KID Harrisburg & West Shore is all about local fun, and this Halloween we're excited to spread some extra cheer with our BOO Buckets! But we need your help to make it a success. Join us for our very first BOO Bucket event and let’s make it HUGE!
What are BOO Buckets?
100+ local families will get "BOO'd" with a completely FREE bucket full of Halloween goodies, including materials from local businesses or organization, on their doorstep or in their hands. But it doesn't stop there! Those families who've been "BOO'd" will have the opportunity to continue to pay it forward to another family with special access to fun and free pintables and the opportunity to win a grand prize! The possibilities are endless! BOO Buckets will help spread your business message throughout the Harrisburg and West Shore areas in a very fun way!
