I had the opportunity to travel last week (to the Broadmoor hotel – which is amazing if you ever get a chance to go). And even though I know the rules – facemask, sanitizer etc…it felt….normal. The hotel still greeted every guest, the staff went out of their way to make people feel comfortable, and there was the generous use of the outdoor spaces. I don’t know how you might feel about Covid – but I will tell you that travel shouldn’t be one of your concerns. It is clean and safe and still lots of fun!
Chipotle Boo. Chipotle still loves Halloween and we still love their deal! This year instead of showing up at a Chipotle location in costume, burrito lovers in Denver will be able to virtually trick-or-treat for 500,000 BUY-ONE-GET-ONE entrée codes via text. Codes will be dropped via Chipotle’s TikTok, Instagram and Twitter every day and fans can text the codes to 888-222 to claim them. The BOGOs are only redeemable via the Chipotle app or Chipotle.com on Halloween.
YMCA. Both the YMCA of the Rockies as well as Snow Mountain Ranch have some great fun deals! Head up to YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park Center and experience frightful family fun all weekend long. Dress in costume and participate in spooky activities such as family-friendly haunted forest, pet costume contest, Halloween movie night, pumpkin carving, and trick or treating throughout the property. OR head to Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby for pumpkin carving, a Halloween photo scavenger hunt with prizes, Halloween Bingo games and a glow in the dark zipine session on Saturday evening! Lodging reservations are available online at https://ymcarockies.org/ or by calling 888-613-9622. First-responders and hospital workers receive discounted four-night stays.
Halloween Candy Deal Not sure if the kids in your neighborhood will be out trick or treating or not? Do what we are doing – making sure that we like the candy we buy so that we can eat it (I know the RIGHT answer is to donate it – but heck, I like me some candy, what can I say)? There is an awesome deal on Halloween Candy on Amazon right now with a lot of it being around 30% off!
Walmart’s Black Friday Ad. I have certainly been that person who has foregone sleep in favor of a great Black Friday deal. I know that this year will be different. Walmart has just released their Black Friday Ad which has deals going for several WEEKS. The first one will be on November 4. I don’t usually write about each thing that is on sale (because that would be a long list) but I can tell you that this year – you will see the same sorts of great deals – just spread out a little bit more.
Melting Pot. During the week of Halloween bring your kids (12 and under) in costume for either lunch or dinner – and each child will get a special treat.
Papa John’s Jack O’ Lantern Pizza. Papa John’s will once again offer the Jack O ’Lantern Pizza – a large pepperoni pizza shaped like a pumpkin) for just $11 through October 31.
YWCA of Boulder Racism Talks. YWCA Boulder County will be hosting “Talking to Kids About Racism”, a special introductory program discussing parenting with a racial justice lens. How do we raise our children to treat others fairly when they see racial injustice? What are the pros and cons of talking openly about race and racial injustice with our children? What is the price of silence? Researchers have found that to be effective, conversations about race must be explicit, and your messages must be put in unmistakable terms that children understand. Two virtual sessions on October 27. Option 1: 11:30 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. https://www.eventbrite.
Mizel Center’s JAAMM Festival. The JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center is kicking off its season full of arts and cultural events through the 13th Annual Neustadt JAAMM Festival.
