Get ready to have some Festive Family Fun in a safe manner. In the comfort of your own vehicle. 

Macaroni Kid Monterey Park - San Gabriel - Alhambra - Rosemead bring you, The Mac Kid Holiday Home Light Up and Scavenger Hunt!!

 With all of the uncertainty, changes and hardships 2020 has brought, I wanted to do something special for families in our community. Normally we host a Mac Kid Candy Cane Hunt. I knew that was not possible this year. So, I thought and dreamed up this idea of a map of homes in which families could enjoy from safety of their own vehicle, but add a fun interactive twist to it! A Scavenger Hunt!! With the help of 3 AMZING and Giving sponsors, they believed in our vision and helped us bring it to light. A huge Thank You to Nothing Bundt Cakes in Rosemead.

 

 Ingrid also has another location in Pasadena on Lake Ave. If you have not heard of them, you NEED to stop by soon!! Order the perfect holiday cake for your family. We recently enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And I highly recommend the red velvet. Our next sponsor is another family small business. Remery Law Firm. They specialize in Estate Planning and Personal Planning. Conservatorships and Guardianships. Probate and Trust Litigation. Trust Administration. Copyright. Trademark Registration and Policing. And Business Law. 



  And our last sponsor. Vizen Optometric Center in San Gabriel is another small business who is dedicated to helping take care of your family's vision needs. They accept many different types of insurance and see children. We are looking forward to taking our kids in for their annual eye exams. Keep an eye out on more information from all of these amazing small businesses who all offer something to help families. 

 NEXT, We have 18 amazing families in the San Gabriel and Alhambra communities, who have decorated their homes extra special! You can access our list of homes on our Facebook Event Page OR by looking at the end of this article for the image. We can also email you a PDF. 

 Each home or stop is numbered. Each home will have an OFFICIAL Yard Sign in their decor, with their number. The numbers will be in the upper right hand side. (Since we had a HUGE response, 3 homes were added, without signs.)

At Stop #6 and #7, the two homes on Avon St in San Gabriel are next door to each other. There will be one sign At each stop, there is a scavenger hunt question that you will find on your list.  Add your answers to the questions, and after you are done, fill out our google form https://forms.gle/5ZgjavtdD6SUpatw7You will be entered into our drawing to win some FUN prizes!!! Vehicles passes to Hot Wheels, Jurassic Quest in Jan, Craft Kits and Disney Plush are some of the prizes.
