Holiday Lights Trolley Tour

Reunion has a fun Halloween tradition called ‘BOO ing’. Maybe you’ve seen the ‘Ghosts’ in the windows of your neighbors’ homes. It’s a fun way to get the kids & the whole . . neighborhood excited about Halloween.

How do you do it?? You secretly set a Halloween basket of treats (along with a ghost to display in the window and a direction sheet) at your neighbor’s door…then…ring the doorbell and RUN!!

Each house that is BOOed does the same for two more neighbors and the fun continues throughout the neighborhood.

(ghosts & direction sheets are available in the Meeting House)
