Help us spread some local Halloween fun and promote your business!

Macaroni KID Carlisle is all about local fun, and this Halloween we're excited to spread some extra cheer with our BOO Bags! But we need your help to make it a success. Join us for our very first BOO Bags event and let’s make it the best one ever!

What are BOO Bags?

50 local families will get "BOO'd" with a bag full of Halloween goodies, including materials from local businesses, on their doorstep. But it doesn't stop there! Those families who've been "BOO'd" will be getting an extra BOO bag and will continue to pay it forward to another family! So 100 total families and counting will spread the BOO! BOO Bags will help spread your business message throughout the Carlisle - Shippensburg - Boiling Springs areas in a very fun way!
