Fright-tacular Fun Ahead with Boo-A-Neighbor
It’s a strange year indeed, and Halloween 2020 just calls for something … different. So, we’re going to try and keep the fun going with a special Boo-A-Neighbor event for Lindridge-Martin Manor!
Since some homes don’t plan to participate in trick-or-treating, and gathering for a parade isn’t ideal for all, why not scare up some fun by ‘boo-ing’ a favorite neighbor?
Here’s how it works:
To start, please pick up a complimentary set of “Boo” signs down at Armand Park in a black caldron under the pavilion. (These will be ready Tuesday evening, Oct. 13.)
Prepare a bag or Halloween bucket of goodies (think candy, treats, fall candles, glow sticks, stickers, wine, pumpkin beer, etc.), insert the “You’ve Been Booed” and “We’ve Been Booed” signs in your bucket, and get excited to “Boo” a favorite neighbor or two! Just drop off your bag or bucket of goodies on their front porch and leave them for them to find.
Once you receive a “Boo”, enjoy your goodies, place the “We’ve Been Booed!” sign in your window or on your front door, and then head on down to Armand Park to pick up another set of “You’ve Been Booed” and “We’ve Been Booed” signs to go in a bucket of goodies that you’ll prepare to surprise another neighbor!
When your basket of treats is ready, include the “Boo” signs and go secretly deliver the goodies to one or two neighbors who haven’t been “Booed!” yet! You’re, of course, welcome to “Boo” a family more than once if that’s what you chose to do but the goals is to share cheer throughout the entire neighborhood so share the love!
If you have questions, send an email to events@lmmna.org. Again, we’ll have “BOO” signs available for pick up in a black cauldron underneath the Armand Park pavilion. They’ll be ready Tuesday, Oct. 13.
Still planning your own Halloween traditions? Awesome! Here are some recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control on how to stay healthy and safe! And here are a few other suggestions:
Non-participating trick or treat homes should leave porch lights off
Participating trick or treat homes should wear mask and give candy away from threshold of door
Alternatively, place “treat table” in front yard of spaced goodie bags, cups, or mini boxes for contact free
Trick or Treaters should wear masks at all times
Carry hand sanitizer
Consider buying no touch candy grabbers to pass out candy
Do not enter yards of homes with lights off
To join the fun, pick up a boo sign at Armand Park!
