Boo Bash at MADE

PLAINFIELD, Ind. – Families across Hendricks County are invited to celebrate Halloween, explore MADE@Plainfield and connect with the community during the first-ever MADE@Plainfield Boo Bash, taking place Wednesday, October 28, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The free, family-friendly event will transform MADE into an evening of trick-or-treating, activities, giveaways, education and Halloween fun, while giving families a chance to see firsthand what happens inside the facility.

Boo Bash is designed to be more than a traditional trick-or-treating event. It is also a community open house, giving residents an opportunity to wander the halls of MADE, explore the facility and meet some of the organizations, educators and service providers working throughout Hendricks County.

What Families Can Expect

• Trick-or-treating throughout the MADE facility
• Halloween-themed book giveaways for a variety of ages and reading levels
• Educational mini-lessons and activities led by Ivy Tech Community College faculty
• Games, crafts and children’s activities
• Opportunities to meet local organizations, community groups and service providers
• Plenty of costumes, decorations, candy and Halloween fun

MADE Partners Working Together

Boo Bash is also a reflection of what happens every day at MADE: partners working together to serve the community.

Several of the organizations that call MADE home, including Ivy Tech Community College, WorkOne, Hendricks College Network and Vincennes University, are collaborating to bring the inaugural event to life. Partners have played integral roles in planning the event and will volunteer throughout the evening to welcome families, coordinate activities and help create a fun community experience.

Plainfield High School students will also join the effort as volunteers, helping with children’s activities and supporting the event throughout the evening.

The collaboration is a natural fit for MADE, where education, workforce and community organizations regularly work alongside one another to connect Hendricks County residents with opportunities and resources.

Special Thanks to Ivy Tech Community College

A special thank you goes to Ivy Tech Community College for spearheading the idea for Boo Bash and providing funding to help make the inaugural event possible.

As a key MADE partner, Ivy Tech helped turn the idea of a family Halloween event into an opportunity to combine fun with education, literacy and community engagement. Ivy Tech faculty and staff will also be involved throughout the evening, helping families experience the educational side of MADE in a fun and approachable way.
